ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly (NA) on Thursday passed a resolution, presented by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), to change the name of New Islamabad International Airport as Shaheed Benazir Bhutto International Airport.

The House adopted the resolution to change the name of Islamabad Airport to Benazir Bhutto International Airport in a bid to pay homage to the Bhutto family’s sacrifices for the country.

The PPP Member of the National Assembly (MNA), Nawabzada Iftikhar Khan, presented the resolution in the House for passage, for restoring the previous name of the Islamabad Airport.

The resolution stated that the former government changed the name based on political hostility and partisanship, and added that the nation cannot forget the Bhutto family’s sacrifices for democracy and the formulation of the country’s Constitution.
