ANP To Participate In Elections For KP Assembly Seats In Merged Areas: Asfandyar Wali
Faizan Hashmi Published January 03, 2019 | 10:40 PM
President Awami National Party (ANP) Asfandyar Wali Khan Thursday said that his party would fully participate in the elections to be held for general seats of the provincial assembly in newly merge areas.
Addressing a press conference here at Bilour House after chairing party's committee meeting, he said that he would visit every merged area for holding public rallies in connection with the elections.
Asfandyar expressed concern over making one provincial assembly seat for erstwhile frontier regions (FRs) which ranges from Dara Adam Khel to Balochistan border.
About the Afghan peace process, the ANP leader argued that non inclusion of Afghan government in the process would amount to inviting trouble in the region.
The parliament has already passed a resolution stating that Pakistan would only accept those talks which were headed by Afghan government.
He feared that Daesh would continue terrorists' activities in the region, if any unilateral agreement with the Taliban was made.
He reiterated call for implementation of National Action Plan (NAP) and added that had NAP been implemented in toto, the killing incidences of SP Tahir Dawar, Naqibullah Mehsud and Haroon Bilour would not have occurred.
He challenged the government to make his property public, if any, in Malaysia and Dubai and called for indiscriminate, impartial and transparent accountability of all irrespective of status and position.
