Pakistan born in Nepal
40
ISLAMABAD: A baby born in a Pakistan Army field hospital in Nepal has been named 'Pakistan', said an Inter-Services Public Relations official on Monday.
This is the second infant to have been born at the field hospital, which was set up by the Pakistan Army as part of relief efforts in earthquake-struck Nepal.
Last week, the Foreign Office said the first baby born at a Pakistan Army field hospital had been named 'Lahore'.

Nepal Army Chief General Gaurav SJB Rana expressed his gratitude over the support extended by Pakistan through the Pakistan Army, during a visit to a Bhaktapur field hospital on May 3.
He had said Pakistan would be remembered by the people of Kathmandu because they provided medical care and supplies to affectees of the earthquake around the clock.
Nepal fell victim to its deadliest quake in nearly 80 years on April 25. The 7.9 magnitude earthquake has claimed over 6,621 lives. Thousands are missing, while 14,023 have been injured. A week on, chances of rescuing survivors have drastically decreased.

@mjk Yes, absolutely agree. Pakistan has always been bombarded by highly exaggerated negative press from India and western media. I am glad that Pakistani govt. sent its military to help the people of Nepal to get through this terrible crises.

I think it is an awful name for a girl or any person not a Pakistani. Could have named her after a great Pakistani woman hero!
