Munir, a senior Pakistani leader, has announced a plan to redraw the country's map by dividing its four provinces into fifteen administrative units, a move he says will broaden his political influence.
Senior Pakistani politician Munir has put forward a proposal to restructure the nation's internal boundaries. According to the plan, the existing four provinces would be broken down into fifteen smaller units, a redrawing that aims to shift the balance of power in his favour.
The proposal, unveiled in a recent statement, suggests that the new divisions would weaken the current provincial structures and create administrative zones more aligned with Munir's political base. Analysts note that such a move could have far‑reaching implications for governance, resource allocation and inter‑provincial relations.
While the details of the fifteen units have not been disclosed, the announcement has sparked debate among political commentators in Pakistan and abroad. Critics argue that the plan appears designed to consolidate Munir's authority rather than address any administrative inefficiencies.
The federal government has not yet responded officially, and it remains unclear whether the proposal will be taken forward to the constitutional amendment process. The development adds another layer of complexity to Pakistan's already volatile political landscape.
