Sindh Assembly Approves Renaming of Sukkur Airport

Post by Abbas Ali »

JANUARY 26, 2012 - According to PTV News, Sindh Assembly today passed a resolution seeking renaming of Sukkur Airport after Madar-i-Millat Fatima Jinnah.

Sukkur Airport is main alternate of Karachi Airport which is named Jinnah International Air Port after brother of Fatima Jinnah and Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

From Sukkur Airport, PIA operates non-stop flights to Hyderabad, Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore and Moenjodaro.

My mistake, I thought last night PTV News anchor said that passed resolution sought naming of Sukkur Airport after 'Madar-i-Millat' (Fatima Jinnah) but I misheard it and actually renaming of Sukkur Airport after 'Madre-e-Jamhooriat' (title given to Nusrat Bhutto by current government) is sought by Sindh Assembly, according to news report on www.brecorder.com.
Overall the provincial legislators also voted to adopt a resolution naming Sukkur airport after late Nusrat Bhutto during the 18th sitting of 32nd session, which Speaker Nisar Khuhro chaired.

A resolution, which Sindh Law Minister had tabled also, received a unanimous vote to replace the Sukkur airport name with late Nusrat Bhutto.

According to the resolution, the Sindh Assembly should ask the federal government to name the Sukkur airport after Nusrat Bhutto.

Islamabad Airport is named after daughter of Nusrat Bhutto and former Pakistan Prime Miniser Benazir Bhutto.

This is Utter Rubbish......
These PPP Hypocrites think they can do what ever they want, this is a Disgrace to the People of Pakistan, If they had to rename Sukkur Airport, they could have renamed after " Fatima Jinnah ", what is soo special about Nusrat Bhutto.........

Shame on PPP, feel like Spitting on them......... :evil:

Saw this advertisement in May 11, 2013, newspaper for establishment and operation of a restaurant with one outlet in departure lounge on Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) basis at BNB Airport Sukkur.

I guess acronym BNB stands for Begum Nusrat Bhutto.

This is an old and dirty trick. There are lot of examples.

Instead of renaming present roads, airports and other national assets, why don't they build something new and name it after whoever they want.
But you don't expect it, reason being incompetency and ill-governance especially from the past government.
