it was a non-issue right from the start, there was overwhelming consensus among the pakistani people about this renaming issue.

Finally.

what finally? khyber-pakhtunkha is a rediculous name, afridis will be very happy on khyber.

Single pakhtunkhwa name is acceptable. PML-N has on purpose suggested local name of khyber to continue controversy.

I can demand of lakk-pakhtunkhwa or DI khan people may demand gomal-pakhtunkhwa.

Atleast they changed it from NWFP, that was the meaning of the "Finally"

It should have been just Pukhtoonkhwa but this is a good step towards it.

My father and I had a quick talk about it before breakfast. "Not an April Fools is it?" he asked, to which I laughingly added: "No Dad, kho da Khyber worta pesang ke tamba ke, tse wowayu no." He said: "Pe Africa-e-Shamaali ke hum dase num neshta..." And that had me laughing!

A good sign, I think.
