Chitralis indifferent to province name change
Busy trying to survive the economic
holocaust
CHITRAL,
03 April,10: By and large, Chitralis have shown indifference to change of name
of the province from NWFP to
Khyber-Pukhtoon Khwa. Although many resent it and
Chitral News has
received a number of letters voicing dissent over the new name, but the average
man in the street seems too busy struggling to survive a galloping inflation,
killing price escalations and unending energy crisis, to indulge in the luxury
of debating a name for the province. Many intellectuals feel that Chitralis would
loose their identity in the new Khyber-Pukhtoonkhwa insinuation, while some say
it is the right of the majority to name the province as they wish, and we should
accept it. Some say it is a non-issue. Some feel the ANP will now have no
unfulfilled slogan to do politics with, and it will now have to practically
deliver, which is the most difficult thing for politicians in Pakistan.
