Erasing Bin Laden's Lair: Why not rename Abbotabad?. Image via Wikipedia
Pakistan has decided to blow Up Bin Laden‘s Compound With A Flurry Of Rocket Propelled Grenades. Major General Athar Abbas said that “It will be a big event,” according to the New York Post.
The Army will invite the U.S. and European officials when the compound will be brought down by rocket propelled grenades and then bulldozed.
The Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that “We will hit it like an enemy fort. But first we must erase everything related to bin Laden from our country.”
We recommend that Pakistan change the name of Abbott to Islampur, Mohammadabad, Fatah-e-Islam, Liaqatabad or Jinnahabad, Hazara Shehar, Hazarapur, Hazarabad, or Hazara City. Pakistan should not be associated with the colonial name of Abbot. Abbottabad is situated in the Orash Valley the Hazara region of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The city was named after Major James Abbott who founded the town and district in January 1853 after the annexation of Punjab. He was the Deputy Commissioner of the Hazara district from 1849 until April 1853.
The remaining vestiges of colonialism should be elimiated. Abbotabad and Jacobabad should be changed to Pakistani names
