Among the many illegal things that some of you engage in, the lawmakers of Pakistan are planning to make another addition. With a new proposed legislation, it might soon become illegal if you call a location with a person’s name, as something else – even unintentionally.

So like, if you call Benazir Bhutto International Airport as the Islamabad Airport, that could land you in jail for 30 days or slap you with a fine of up to Rs. 5 lac.

Yup. That’s real. Promise.

According to Dawn, “The federal government has decided to introduce a law for naming public places after prominent personalities, proposing strict punishment for calling a place with a different name other than its notified name, even unintentionally.”

So if you ever call the Benazir Bhutto International Airport the ‘Islamabad airport,’  you’re in for a 30-day stay in your local thaana. Oh and a RS. 500,000 fine.

SOCHO. For calling an airport it’s name. I mean

With everything going on in our political system nowadays, it’s hilarious to see this being the first big change in our government. Great guys, keep it up.
