QUETTA: Awami National Party (ANP) Chairman Asfandyar Wali on Thursday demanded that the PM remove concerns of the Pashtun and Baloch regarding China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
Addressing lawyers in the Balochistan High Court, the ANP chief said that the government has failed miserably in implementing the National Action Plan (NAP).
The educated segment was targeted in the terror incidents like APS Peshawar, Bacha Khan University and October 24 incidents. Although political and military leadership are on the same page but the government has failed in implementing NAP.
“If NAP is implemented in letter and spirit as the law and order situation could be improved,” adding that if people involved in August 8 incident were dealt with iron hands then such incidents may not happen.
He added that devastation of young generation is the devastation of entire nation and even this incident is being politicised.
He said his party was not against the CPEC. “It is a game changer project adding that it is our demand that all promises made by PM regarding western route of CPEC be fulfilled.”
Asfandyar demanded that the government take people into confidence over CPEC, adding that list of industrial zones along this project should be issued so that the share of Baloch and Pashtun be marked. “We have no objection over the development of Punjab under CPEC but our grievances and concerns be removed immediately,” he explained.
Talking about the terror attack in Police Training Center Quetta, he said that it is beyond the understanding that why under training recruits were called again and under which order they were asked to stay inside the center.
“The interior and foreign policies of the government have been failed and it should be re-determined. ANP would never favour any unconstitutional measure,” he concluded.
