		The Saraiki regions now in the Punjab have to form a new federating unit; and the historically Pashtun areas dumped on Balochistan have to merge in the NWFP to become a federating unit called Pashtunistan, Pakhtunkhawa or Afghania.
		The primacy of the Balochi lanuage in Balochistan, of the Sindhi language in Sindh, of the Saraiki language in Saraikia / Saralkistan, of the Pashtu language in Pashtunistan and of the Panjabi language in Punjab have to be recognized on all levels and for all purposes.
		For us the Baloch, Sindhis, Saraikis and the Pashtuns, as far as living together with the Punjabis and Muhajirs in a single state is concerned, the dream of federalism is dead -- killed by the Panjabis and the Muhajirs themselves.

		In case of a needed referendum within the Saraiki or semi-Saraiki regions for the creation of such a Saraiki suba, only those who (or whose parents or grand parents) lived in the area before Pakistan was created will have the right to vote.
