PESHAWAR:

Senior Provincial Minister for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Bashir Bilour on Monday inaugrated the plan to hoist the highest national flag in the historical Jinnah Park.


The flag, with the height of 185 feet, will be completed by June 30 and the total cost spent on the plan would be Rs2.6 million.


Bashir Bilour said the plan was a result of the efforts of the ANP. He said the party is ready for a dialogue with militants if they surrender.


Speaking about the Saraiki province, Bilour said everyone under the constitution has a right to struggle and his party would support the province.

Maria | 13 years ago | Reply @Asman Uffaq: Can you refer to one recent statement by the ANP against Pakistan? I'm sure you can't because they are on record for working within the constitution and strengthening the Pakistani Federation. I think you are trying to prove something which doesn't exist. And yes Charsadda is an ANP stronghold and also a very pro Pakistani stronghold. Rather than sling baseless allegations against the ANP for something that may or may not have been uttered 60 years ago why not focus on real anti state comments spoken by the likes of other political leaders like Altaf Hussain of MQM. When he goes to India, he openly criticises Pakistan.
Asman Uffaq | 13 years ago | Reply @Maria, While reading my above comments how can you say that they were consistent staunch supporters of PAKISTAN???? Was Quaid mad that he called for referendum in this province only while not in the other three???? Remember! there is a big big difference between the Pushtoons mindset & sons of ghandhi mindset.... Pushtoons & others of this province won the referendum by voting for PAKISTAN because they are patriot & the sons of ghandhi defeated ignominiously because they are indian proxy agents..... We respect the majority, these sons of ghandhi are in minority, restricted only to Charsaddah..... We've already respected and accepted the mandate of majority (result of referendum in 1947) but they did not..... Thanks.
