CHARSADDA, Jan 26: ANP president Asfandyar Wali Khan has said that his party would support opposition’s anti-Musharraf movement only if it was assured proper identity for the Pukhtuns’ province.

“Pukhtuns will support the anti-Musharraf movement if Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif promised them that their province will get a proper name,” he said. He was addressing a public meeting here that was organised to mark the first death anniversary of veteran Pukhtun leader Khan Abdul Wali Khan here on Friday.

Criticising the MMA, the ANP leader said that the MMA leaders should resign from the Balochistan government before “joining ranks with us to launch an effective movement against the military ruler”.

Afzal Khan Lala, Ajmal Khattak, Bashir Ahmad Bilour, Begum Naseem Wali Khan and other senior party leaders also addressed the public meeting.
