Nobody knows, what does NWFP mean?

Well dont worry im going to tell u.
NWFP means Name Wanted For Province.

So we need a name for our province, which is PAKHTOONKHWA.

” tal de wee pakhtoonwali asfandyar wali asfandyar wali ”

Pakistan, Pakhtoonkhwa and rest of the provinces ZINDABAD.

And although I’m Sindhi, I support ANP’s demand for naming NWFP. It is demeaning for them to belong to a place that doesn’t even have a proper name.

i am not complete follower of ANP but because of bacha khan all pashtuns for years been treated as traitors. thanks to media we now know each other better than before

asfandiyar is mature leader, like his father and grandpa

please read Javed Hashmi letter to his daughter in his book and i qoute

“now i understand how people would have felt who were termed as traitors by establishment”

i would appreciate if you please read that letter

self-righteousness***

I totally second you dude. I consider the self rightneous a disease which will make you blind of things happening around you. Since the independence bengalis were being persecuted at the hands of their so called “brothers” and the people in west pakistan were in complete denial. When I read about the massacre of bengali intellectuals I was literally shocked what pakistan army and its groomed mullah like Al-Badr and Al-Shames have been doing there. And PTV even till this day tells the people never wanted to make Bangladesh it was bloody indians who conspired against us.

I see a similar denial regarding Baloch’s, sindhis, Pathan’s and ppl of siraiki belt in punjab. Mostly, sindhi, baloch and pathan are considered “Ghaddar” in our country, when they demand their rights. Being elder brother, Punjab should act like an elder brother and feed to smaller provinces from its own share. But it has mostly demanded for more and more. I am not saying only punjabis can do tht, sometimes I wonder, if Sindhis were in majority and they were in charge of this country then probably we too have exploited smaller provinces like Punjab has been doing.

This is due to moral bankrupcy in our characters. Currently, in pakistan there is a “might is right rule!” This needs to be changed ASAP if pakistan is to survive.

PS: With the word punjab I mean the ruling establishment, I don’t blame a poor punjabi who is in fact a victim and no different then any pathan, sindhi, or balochi.

I think that is a general problem of many parties.
PPP keeps talking about bhutto and BB ’shaheeds’.
MQM keeps talking about altaf bhaii
and ANP keeps talking about their ideological leader Bacha khan.

I don’t know the current stance of PML-N, but i guess they can’t be anti Jinnah.

Overall its a sad situation that we don’t give the father of the nation his due recognition as the time passes.

However, the issue at hand is that the pushtoons should be reassured that punjabis do not and should not have any objection to the change in the name of the province as long as all the people of NWFP want it (assuming consensus in hazara).

Also people should know that a poor person is a poor person no matter which province he lives in. In that way it was good that ANP did not talk in the punjabi-pathan tone etc and this should be welcomed.

I am amazed with these comments. I am sure only that person can say these words who is unaware of the history. Baba khan(bach khan) or even wali baba were never arrogant. They always talked about the truth. When Baba khan was fighting against the British rule, it was Congress who gave them moral support and was not muslim league. I am talking about the era of 1910’s. Muslim league was not much different than it is right now. When Pakistan came into being, It was Baba khan’s party govt, Jinnah dissolved the assembly although Baba khan already had accepted Pakistan. That is how our leader got the habbit of dissolving assemblies.
