i want to go back to questions that were aed by this gentleman earlier about the southern punjab and karachi, and really would you be willing to theorize what a political situation since there is an emphasis on the legal situation, in these areas would actually look like wax and so now we look at the newspaper and there's talk about a new province in the southern punjab. is that what we are leaning toward or using other solutions to these problems? >> i haven't seen the daunting, but that has been on the table and people have talked about increasing the number of provinces for a long time. it hasn't really gone anywhere as far as a political institution is concerned. but i was hopeful, optimistic on the political thing because we have an elected government now and we have a government in baluchistan, which is a governor, minister, all the ministers of the luke. also we've had a similar arrangement in the past, but this time it looks more gerbil, more sustainable. and you also have a good fix on the grievances as the other side has in terms of job opportunities in terms of education a

would you be willing to terrorizgive you a theory on whe areas would look like, southern and j --southern punjab and karachi? >> i have not seen the thing. but it's been on the table and people have talked about increasing the number of provinces for a long time. it has not gone anywhere as far as political institutions are concerned. but i was hopeful, optimistic on the political thing because we have an elected government now. we have a government in baluchistan with all the ministers being baluch. we had a similar thing in the past, but this time it seems more durable. and we have a fix on the grievance is the other side has. the job opportunities and educational facilities and in terms of loyalties for the gas being pumped from baluchistan, infrastructure development, all those on the table. as the question was here, that you have to do a major reorientation after this kind of insurgency, i think it's the biggest thing the country can get going through a prolonged insurgency. if left unchecked, it can assume some kind of class struggle situation or a major social upheaval in the country. so
