ANP calls terrorism 'biggest problem'

NOWSHERA:

Awami National Party (ANP) Provincial President Mian Iftikhar Hussain has stated that terrorism remains the biggest issue in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, and both the central and provincial governments have completely failed to control it.

Speaking at a public gathering in Nowshera on the anniversary of Bacha Khan and Wali Khan, Hussain emphasized that terrorism has evolved from guerrilla warfare into a conflict between two nations—Pakistan and Afghanistan. He warned that this war is no longer regional but has become an international crisis.

ANP District President Zahid Khan, District General Secretary Malik Atlas Khan Khattak, and ANP Central Secretary Brigadier (Retd.) Dr. Salim Khan also addressed the gathering.

Hussain stressed that Pakistan and Afghanistan are sovereign nations and should refrain from interfering in each other's affairs. He cautioned that if the situation spirals out of control, the first victims will be the Pakhtuns, followed by the rest of Pakistan, and eventually, the world will also be engulfed in this conflict.
