Asfandyar Wali : Handing over Islamabad to army: Nawaz provides opportunity to army to interfere in politics

Awami National Party chief Asfandyar Wali Khan has criticised the federal government for handing over the federal capital to the army for maintaining law and order, adding that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif provided another opportunity to army to interfere in the democratic process. Talking to party workers at Wali Bagh, Charsadda, Asfandyar said that ANP in no way could support invoking of Article 245 to handover Islamabad to the army.
He said his party supported across the board operation in North Waziristan and it should be taken to its logical conclusion as soon as possible. "Constitution allows peaceful protest to every one including Imran Khan and no one can be denied of this constitutional right," he added. However, he said, the protest should be completely peaceful and orderly. He said the PTI chief could not see rigging during elections but after the passage of one year, he was raising rigging issue to derail democracy.
The ANP Chief came hard on the PTI government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, saying that due to its inefficiency, Rs 90 billion development budget went back to the central pool as the development projects could not be initiated. He claimed that the ANP government carried out record development work and gave the province its own identity.
