Nawabshah district to be renamed after Benazir
It keeps going and going; one thing at a time.
Quote:
KARACHI: The Sindh assembly unanimously passed on Monday an amendment in the Sindh Land Revenue Act, 1967, empowering the provincial government to change the name a district or taluka. This means it can rename district Nawabshah after Benazir Bhutto, to comply with a resolution passed earlier by the assembly.
Sindh law minister Ayaz Soomro presented the Sindh Land Revenue (Amendment) Bill, 2008 in the House, introducing a new section, “Renaming of a district or taluka” to the original Act. The amendment says, “Notwithstanding the provisions contained in sectors 5 and 6, if the provincial assembly has passed or passes a resolution to the effect that a district or a taluka may be re-named, the government shall, by a notification, re-name such district or taluka, as the case may be”.
Food Minister Nadir Magsi had, however, opposed naming Nawabshah and said that her own district constituency should have the honour. He said that he was still of the view that his district, presently Qambar-Shahdadkot, should be name after BB, because she had been contesting the elections from there.
