ISLAMABAD: The US administration has suggested Pakistani authorities to hold referendum in NFWP regarding its future as an independent country or remain as an province of Pakistan, informed sources confided to The Pakistani newspaper on Friday.

The sources  further said that the topic came up when General Mullen  visited Pakistan last week to meet  Pakistani authorities.

However, the authorities refused the proposal straight away and conveyed a strong message before the visiting US General that the government of Pakistan would resolve the issue through its own description.

Meanwhile, local Taliban also joined hands with Pakistani forces against US forces which also sent a strong message to the US administration that people of the NWFP were not wishing for independent state. The Awami National Party-led province is, however, looking for changing the name of province according to the desire of locals.
