PESHAWAR, Oct 16: Awami National Party has said an amicable solution to the Afghan conflict rests only in convening Loya Jirga to help the people of Afghanistan to decide their future on their own.
The Pakhtoon nationalist party, has taken an exception to the remarks made by some religio-political circles against the ANP’s senior leader Wali Khan’s statement in which he had proposed convening of Loya Jirga as the only way out to resolve the Afghan crisis, says a Press release issued by its central information secretary Haji Mohammed Adeel here on Tuesday.
The party reiterated that war was no solution to the conflict hence Taliban and their allies in Pakistan should realize that the Afghan crisis could only be resolved through talks.
Haji Adeel also said his party believed that Osama bin Laden should have left Afghanistan after having been requested by the Ulema council.
His stay was only adding to the miseries of the people of Afghanistan bringing more devastation to the already war ravaged country, it added.
ATTACK CONDEMNED: Expressing concern over killing of innocent civilians in Afghanistan, the provincial president of Pakistan Muslim League (Like-minded), Saleem Saifullah Khan, has asked the US only to target the terrorist networks in its attacks against Afghanistan.
In a Press release issued here on Tuesday, he said that the US had to take extra care as the killing of civilians might have a severe backlash in other countries including Pakistan.
Saifullah expressed the hope that just like past President General Musharraf would take such decisions which would be in the larger interest of Pakistan. He asked all political and religious parties, and all patriotic Pakistanis to shun their differences and forge unity among themselves so as to stir the country out of present crisis.
