Ch Rehmat Ali’s name under consideration for new Islamabad Airport

Islamabad

Government is considering to name new International Islamabad airport as, “Chaudhry Rahmat Ali International Islamabad Airport”.

This was stated by Irfan Siddiqui, adviser to the Prime Minister during a meeting with a delegation of Society for Asian Civilisation comprising its head ZAQ, M. Yousuf Aziz, Head, Pakistan National Movement & life member of SAC, Colonel (r) Bakhtiar Hakeem, Sarwar Munir Rao, ex-director, PTV and others.

During his interaction with the delegation, on the proposal and demand to pay long outstanding homage to the Pakistan Movement leader, who carved, crafted and consolidated the name of our beloved homeland, the advisor informed that Prime Minister had already constituted a committee to finalise the name of the new airport and the name of late Ch. Rahmat Ali is also there with its merit. The advisor also urged Mr. Aziz to forward possible manuscripts about the life and historical endeavours of Chaudhary Rahmat Ali for carving a new Muslim state in South Asia. He said that his Division has chalked out a program to publish books about all prominent Pakistan Movement leaders and that he would be happy to see such modest book about Ch. Rahmat Ali along with others.

Earlier, ZA Qureshi, president AC briefed the advisor about the activities and future plans of the society besides conferring upon him honourary membership of the SAC to the advisor and invited him to chair the society’s meeting on 5th July.  Bakhtiar Hakeem made a presentation about the society’s origin, activities and future plans. Irfan Siddique stated that he would like see both his division and society joining hands to highlight positive image of Pakistan through each ones expertise and efforts.
