Multan: (RightNow) Federal Health Minister Mustafa Kamal supports Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi’s stance on creating new administrative units in Pakistan. He expressed this view during a speech at an event in Multan.

Mustafa Kamal further stated that Pakistan is larger than 180 countries and cannot be managed under the current federal and provincial system. Therefore, establishing more administrative units is essential.
