| 2009-11-19 |
| 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. |
