Asfandyar blames Imran for killing political decency

HARNAI: Awami National Party (ANP) chief Asfandyar Wali on Friday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan had gone beyond political decency and ANP would not enter into election alliance with the PTI.

He criticised politicians for opposing the merger of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata).

“Only Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Fazlur Rehman and Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) chief Mehmood Khan Achakzai oppose the merger,” Wali lamented while addressing a rally here.

“Why are those who chant slogans about creating a Pashtoon state stretching from Bolan to Chitral oppose the merger,” the ANP chief asked.

Criticising Achakzai, Asfandyar said that he managed to get NWFP’s name changed to KP when he made an alliance with the party in centre while Achakzai used his alliance with ruling party to make his own brother the governor of Balochistan.

He also slammed Imran Khan for introducing politics of abuse in the country. The ANP chief vowed to continue working for constitutional supremacy, rule of law as well as rights of Pashtoons.
