Vote ANP to power for peace, Asfandyar urges people

CHARSADDA: Awami National Party (ANP) President Asfandyar Wali Khan on Tuesday urged the people to vote his party to power to bring lasting peace and development to the region.

In a message to people on the eve of general elections, the nationalist leader hoped that all the people, including men, women, elders and youths would come out from their homes in droves and exercise their right of franchise in favour of lantern, the election symbol of ANP, on the polling day to be held tomorrow.

“We are steadfast and strictly following the philosophy of Bacha Khan and Wali Khan despite many hurdles and

difficulties. We hope the Pakhtuns would make us proud by stamping on the lantern on February 8,” Asfandyar Wali said, adding that the ANP was the only party that had the capabilities to win the ongoing war against Pakhtuns and the soil.

No other political party, he added, could fight for the rights of Pakhtuns and the province, saying that the history was a testimony to the facts that ANP had always bravely fought for the rights of the soil.

Asfandyar Wali said that they were proud to have borne difficulties and faced excesses and allegations in different times but Walibagh had neither deviated from its path of truthfulness nor made Pakhtuns ashamed before anyone.
