Jiyay Awami National Party. ANP is by far the best party in Pakistan with a rich history. The individuals who call ANP traitors are the real enemies of Pakistan. They are deceiving the masses and helping the terrorists.
How about foiling the terror plan of ANP shahi Sayed on 13th August? ANP is anti Pakistan from day 1.
