ANP not to derail democracy, says Mian Iftikhar

PESHAWAR: Awami National Party (ANP) central General Secretary Mian Iftikhar Hussain said Friday his party believed in the supremacy of democracy and would never become part of attempts aimed at derailing democracy in the country.

Through a statement issued here, he said the ANP had time and again presented its stance on the floor of the parliament.

He declared that his party stood with the opposition on Panama Leaks
issue but “would never become part of any undemocratic move in this connection.” 

Referring to the murder of ANP’s former MPA at Yar Hussain in Swabi, Mian Iftikhar Hussain said that both federal and provincial government were keeping a mum over the target killing of party’s workers and activists.

Hitting out at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led government in the province he asked why they would not condemn the killing of ANP workers.  “It seems both terrorists and PTI have the same agenda,” He claimed.
