Pakistan Considers 28th Amendment Amidst Debate Over Provincial Reorganization
Pakistan is considering the 28th Amendment, which may restructure its federal system by creating new provinces or administrative units, or altering fiscal powers between the center and provinces. The proposal follows claims of a governance collapse. However, the Sindh Assembly has unanimously rejected any changes to its territorial boundaries, citing constitutional protections and warning of potential conflict. Historical parallels are drawn to the One Unit scheme of the 1950s, which similarly aimed to reorganize provinces but was later abolished amid controversy.
