HYDERABAD, Sept 7: National Awami Party (NAP) president Ajmal Khattak has dismissed the reports that the National Alliance (NA) is a “king’s party”.

Speaking at a programme, organized by the All Pakhtoon Falahi Tanzeem in connection with the Defence Day and talking to newsmen in Bohri compound on Friday night, Khattak, who is also a central leader of the Alliance, said whenever such groups or parties were formed these types of allegations were levelled.

He called for national reconciliation between all segments of the society to arrive at a consensus in order to make the nation prosperous.

He added that for the last two and half years he had been trying to make the political parties shun their differences and sit together.

The NAP chief described the prevailing political situation in the country as polluted and obsolete.

He said if politicians wanted to rule the country, they would have to make the nation prosperous.

Referring to the constitutional amendments, he said he had apprised President Gen Pervez Musharraf of his reservations and gave some proposals to this effect.

He said his proposals pertained to provincial autonomy and protection of fundamental rights of people.

Khattak urged the political parties to share their experiences and ponder over problems, confronting the country, by discussing ways and means, to resolve the same.

Regretting political controversies and confrontation in the country, he said it was not a good omen that no one knew what sort of parliament would come into existence.

The NAP chief exhorted the people of the sub-continent to make efforts to prevent their countries from heading towards a nuclear war.

He asked developed countries to provide relief packages and funds for education to the people of Pakistan.

He said free and fair election could prove the worth of political parties.

KASHMIR: Khattak said he intended to go to New Delhi and talk to relevant parties on the Kashmir issue.
