  1. Salam: As a Pashtoon i was never in favor of changing the name of N.W.F.P. There was no need for it at all. I also condemn the loss of life that has occurred. Those responsible should be punished.

    What is surprising however is the general reaction found from our Hazara brothers. Haripur is named after the Sikh Hari Singh , Mansehra after Mann Singh and Abotabbad after Sir Abbot. Why have our Hazara brothers never objected to those names for 60 years and now that N.W.F.P’s name has changed they have suddenly risen in objection and started demanding a new province ? They did not mind living under those peoples names and suddenly they feel enraged at the change of name of N.W.F.P ?: It seems they are displaying an old hatred they have towards Pashtoon people.

    I also have absolutely no objection to Hazara as a province & i will be glad if they have a province of their own. But the methods that are being used to demand the province is both provocative and confrontative.

    Hazara becoming a province will make no difference to the general public. With people like Gohar Ayub and other opportunists looking towards becoming chief minister, it will only mean them taking up your resources.

    Before being a Pashtoon i am a human being and a Muslim. Today as Muslims we are disunited everywhere and its not helping any of us as nations or provinces. Further division will only make the situation worse as more and more will start demanding provinces because they feel they have no rights.. please wake up and tell me who has rights in Pakistan?? only the politicians and they are taking you for a ride as well
