"Civil war imminent if Punjab divided further".Warns Nazeer Kahut Punjabi National Conference's Founder Chairman Chaudhry Nazeer Kahut has asked the people of Punjab to rise to the occasion and thwart all the conspiracies against their motherland otherwise they should prepare themselves for possible civil war if Punjab divided further for any reason whatsoever. Delivering his key note address at the inauguration of the first Punjabi National conference He said problems of Southern Punjab's people should be addressed properly to counter the campaign. South Punjab will never prosper in the presence of its imperialists remnant's the feudal lord's. The feudalism is the mother of all the evils in south Punjab that must be abolished if we are sincere to our people. Nazeer Kahut opposed the demand for more provinces and warned that Seraiki province will prove to be a black hole for other provinces and will give birth to a Mohajir Province in Sindh ,Pushtoon province in Balochistan and four provinces in NWFP. Kahut Warned that Seraiki province will deprive Punjab of its ancient identity ,historic existence, language, literature, art, culture, civilization, sources, area and Population. Similarly a Mohajir province in Sindh will prove to be another Bangladesh and a Pushtoon province in Balochistan will prove to be another Rwanda. If Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan were divided on ethnic, linguistic or administrative lines the native Sindhis, Baloch and Punjabis will turn in to minorities and red Indians in the hands of the alien's, occupant's, infiltrators, exploiter's and terrorist's, he claimed. He said people of Punjab recognized the right of Sindh and Balochistan on their resources and the federation should stop exploiting them. Kahut condemned the atrocities being committed against Baloch people. And said people of Punjab recognised Baloch people's right to the natural resources of Balochistan and called for an end to the military operation in the province and recovery of the missing people. He appealed to the Baloch leadership and people of Balochistan to help protect and stop target killings of Punjabis in Balochistan. And said like always the doors of Punjab are open for Baloch. He rejected the division of Punjab at any level, be it administrative, racial or lingual and warned that the country would head towards a civil war if the situation was not handled wisely. He opposed the construction of Kalabagh Dam if it were without the consent of Sindh and demanded that Punjabi should be adopted as the medium of instruction and official language of the province. And Sindhi, Balochi, Pushto and Punjabi be declared the National languages through a constitutional amendment.

The conference, organised by the Academy for the Promotion of Punjabi Language, Literature, Art and Culture with Chauhdry Nazeer Kahut in the chair at Alhamra Art Centre, rejected the division of the province at any level, be it administrative, racial or lingual. It demanded that Punjabi should be adopted as the basic medium of instruction in the province and made the official language in all spheres. The conference noted that Pakistan was passing through the most crucial phase of its history. It should do away with feudalism and distribute lands among tenets and landless farmers. The revenue generated by export and import of goods from Punjab should be spent on the development of undeveloped districts of the province. The Karachi Cotton Exchange should be shifted to Multan and renamed as Multan cotton exchange.
