PESHAWAR, Sept 12: The provincial president of ANP, Begum Nasim Wali Khan, has claimed that Baacha Khan’s philosophy had become part of international politics.

Talking to a delegation of Pakhtoon Students Federation (PSF) at Wali Bagh, Charsadda, on Thursday, the ANP leader said, whatever the Khudai Khidmatgar had said almost a hundred years before, was now being propagated by statement all over the world.

She said, Baacha Khan was a symbol of peace. Throughout his political life he struggled against violence and bloody revolutions. He pursued the politics of non-violence and peace which remained the cornerstone of his political thought.

The entire world, Begum Nasim Wali Khan said, was now struggling hard to lay its hands on terrorists. She urged the PSF delegates to take Baacha Khan’s message to every nook and corner to foil the designs of opportunists during the coming general elections.

Addressing an election rally in his home constituency, Sangeen Wali Khan, son of the veteran politician Khan Abdul Wali Khan and a candidate of ANP from PF-18 Charsadda, said that time had come to get united under the red flag for the attainment of your right.

On Oct 10, 2002, he said, “We could open the gates of prosperity and development by voting for the ANP candidates”. The ANP stands for the rights of the oppressed, he added. —APP
