Mir Asim Kurd Gailo said the number of national assembly seats of the province were inadequate. There were total 32 districts, each district should be given one national assembly seat and because provincial capital Quetta's population was more than other districts it should be divided into five Constituencies.

The speaker while giving ruling established a committee consisting of all parliamentary leaders. Later on, the lawmakers unanimously passed this resolution.
