| Signboards with maps of "Greater Pakhtunistan" have reappeared in Bannu and Lakki Marwat districts of the NWFP, Daily Times has learnt. According to an Interior Ministry's letter to the provincial government, a number of "objectionable signboards" displaying maps had been put up in the districts. The letter said the signboards were not only detrimental to the national integrity, but could also spark disorder in the province. The ministry also attached photographs of the signboards with the letter. According to the letter the boards have been installed on Indus Highway, Sarai Naurang and Gandi Khankhel Chowk in Lakki Marwat district; and on Bannu Link Road and Township area in Bannu district. An official told Daily Times that the authorities had asked the Bannu deputy inspector general to remove the signboards. This is the second time that such signboards have appeared in the southern districts of the province. Last year, such boards had sparked controversy among political circles. |
