MQM supports ANP's call for renaming country
The Awami National Party (ANP) has suggested that the government change the country's name from 'Islamic Republic of Pakistan' to 'People's Republic of Pakistan', a private TV channel quoted MQM leader Farooq Sattar as saying on Wednesday. According to the channel, the ANP had proposed the idea in a meeting of the constitutional reforms committee. Sattar said the MQM backed the suggestion. He also demanded that the government give Gilgit-Baltistan the same status as other provinces. ANP leaders Haji Adeel and Afrasiab Khattak denied the ANP had made any such suggestion.Posted by: Fred 2009-11-19 |
