Hazara province out of question, says Bilour

LAHORE: The creation of a separate province for the people of Hazara is out of question, a private TV channel quoted NWFP Senior Minister Bashir Ahmed Bilour as saying on Wednesday. Talking to journalists in Peshawar, the minister questioned how the Awami National Party (ANP) could support a resolution, demanding a separate Hazara province. “It took us six decades to rename the NWFP Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa. The supporters of a Hazara province should struggle for 50 years before demanding a separate province,” he said.Bilour said the ANP-led provincial government would not review the proposed name for the NWFP.
