NWFP to be renamed Pakhtoonkhwa: Zardari

When ANP was elected, it was voted in on the basis of the name change. Even the most patriotic Pakistani Pakhtun (including myself) will tell you that NWFP is a ridiculous name..is a colonial affront to our people.

Sarhad means nothing either. Sarhad to whom? Maybe to Karachiites, Lahoris or the like. For us Pakhtunkhwa is one part of the larger Pakhtun nation. While we would acknowledge the international border, that does not define us.

Why do you people care about the name of our province? A name that has been Is it due to some sort of elistist patriotism where only Urdu Speakers + Punjabis constitute the Pakistani state?
