Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani said if the Parliament ensured rights to Pukhtoons and the people of Gilgit-Baltistan and FATA, "then how it is possible that it will not give us (seraiki) our identity."

"We have implemented all the resolutions regarding Balochistan province except the law and order situation which is a provincial subject," he added.

Gilani said a delegation from Hazara met him and discussed the issue of new province and I talked to ANP Chief Asfandyar Wali Khan and asked him how the issue could be resolved. In response, he (Asfandyar) said if the PPP has consensus on the issue then it could be discussed in the House.

The Prime Minister said then he referred the matter to PPP's Parliamentary Party and PPP fully advocated the federalism.

He dismissed the allegation that our party was weakening Pakistan, adding, Pakistan is guarded by the Constitution which was given to country by the PPP and provides a guarantee for security of Pakistan.

Regarding PML-N Chief Nawaz Sharif's statement for setting up military courts in Karachi, the prime minister said how was it possible in a democratic set up and termed it a double standard of PML-N.

"In democracy, there is no room for such courts. Military should always be kept in the background," he said and added Rangers were deployed in Karachi on request of the provincial government to improve law and order.

The Prime Minister asked if such kind of courts are set up, then what will be the difference between democracy and dictatorship.
