A H U B F O R C O M M E R C E A N D C O M M U N I T Y SPIRIT
The district was renamed in September 2008 when most of the MPAs
of Nawabshah demanded the district be renamed to honor the late
party leader.
The renaming of the district was criticized by the family of Syed
Nawabshah and others who, while saddened at the death of Bhutto, felt
that Nawabshah was a historic district and ought to have kept its name.
