Chitral should be merged into Northern Areas and Gilgit

Keeping in view the unique and isolate culture, language and geography of Chitral, It looks strange if we see the word pukhtoonkhwa beside Chital. There should be a name representing the Khoove people and indicate that there is no pukhtoon culture in Chitral, and we are entirely different community living in the Hindu Kush mountain range. We must try our best to raise our voice with starting moment at district level, to change or to add a Chitrali word with existing Chitral.

In the critical time, when the country is in war like situation and tribal areas are being attacked, ANP left everything behind and kept fighting for word pukhtoonkhwah. If we Chitralies are of opinion that, the change of name makes no difference, why the slogan of pukhtoonkhwa was raised so loud and pushed so seriously in national assembly. On the other hand if name is important, Chitralies also have the right to change the name of their district as (Khoovan Chitrar) or something else related to Chitral and Chitralies. We must initiate the struggle right from today with the hope that ANP dominating assembly will come to its end soon, and the name issue will be raised again by others and any suitable un provocative name will be chosen for the province, otherwise Chitral should be merged into Northern Areas and Gilgit.

Chitral deserve to be under the Center

Dear Sir,

It is with reference to the subject letter by Syed Sardar Hussain, we the people of Chitral deserve to be under the Center. Because we have to save our prestigious identity. if, as mentioned by Sardar Hussain sahib, the agreement between Mehtar-e-Chitral and Quaid-e-Azam includes the term (Chitral to be controled by center), than our intellectual class should take this seriously and struggle for it.
