Zulfiqarabad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zulfiqarabad or Zulfikharabad or Zulfikarabad (Urdu: ذوالفقار آباد ) is a proposed new city in Thatta District, Sindh, Pakistan.[1]
The President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari has directed the Sindh government to identify a million acres (4,000 km²) of land near the coast in Thatta district for the development of the proposed new city, in the memory of the late Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
The proposed location of the city is near Jherek in Thatta district.
[edit] Controversy
A new left wing Sindhi nationalist party called the Sindh National Movement Party has opposed the development of Zulfiqarabad, referring to it as a "new Israel".[2]
