ANP agrees to rename NWFP as Afghania




ISLAMABAD: The Awami National Party (ANP) agrees to change the North West Frontier Province’s name to Afghania, ANP chief Asfandyar Wali said on Monday.

“We don’t want to get into the controversy of renaming the NWFP anymore. We have proposed the name Pakhtoonkhwah for the province. However, since Chaudhry Rehmat Ali had said that the name should begin with the letter ‘A’, we would agree to the notion that the province should be renamed as Afghania,” Wali told reporters at the Parliament House.

He said all political parties should sit together to evolve a consensus over the draft of the 18th Amendment.
