Re: Musharraf proposes to name NWFP as ‘Khyber’
NWFP - North West Frontier Province
in Urdu ( Shumal Maghrabi Sarhadi Sooba) in Short Sarhad.
Sarhad is not a proper name.
Last time I have listened to ANP response to this. which to some extent was valid.
Why Khayber - when Sindh is not Called Mehran, Balochistan not called Bolan
and Punjab is not called Potohar.
He was accepting the name Phtoonkhua/Pakhtoonistan or Afghani
I think only hinderance to call it above names is other ethinic population in the province.
but I think they should have right to what the name should be. referendum for such formality will be waste of time and money.
Sarhad Assembly should propose it and pass it in parliament.
