Asfandyar vows to defeat PTI in KP by-polls
2013-08-20
[Dawn] Awami National Party (ANP) chief Asfandyar Wali Khan on Monday said since PTI chief Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
has been keeping his silence over the deteriorating law and order situation, therefore he will face a historic defeat in the August 22 by-polls.

Addressing a public gathering at Nishtar Hall in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
, he said in the aftermath of Bannu jailbreak, Imran Khan had said that ANP lost the right to rule the province. "What does Imran have to say now about his right to rule the province after D I Khan jailbreak," he questioned.

The ANP chief said despite the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
government was informed 48 hours prior to the attack, it failed to prevent it.

"The PTI chairman has advised his party leaders to not use a word of condemnation in statements issued after every terrorist attack," he claimed.

People of the province were deceived with slogan of a "new Pakistain," said Asfandyar. "Is this the new Pakistain where ministers are afraid of attending funerals of even their colleagues in the provincial assembly," he added.

Speaking about the slain ANP leader and senior KP minister Bashir Ahmed Bilour, who was killed in a suicide kaboom in December last year, he said that Bashir Bilour was a brave man and never bowed down to the terrorist threats.

"People of Peshawar should honour the sacrifices of Bashir Ahmed Bilour and vote for his brother Ghulam Ahmed Bilour in the upcoming by-election," he appealed the masses.

Asfandyar Wali said that Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam
...Assembly of Islamic Clergy, or JUI, is a Pak Deobandi (Hanafi) political party. There are two main branches, one led by Maulana Fazlur Rahman, and one led by Maulana Samiul Haq. Fazl is active in Pak politix and Sami spends more time running his madrassah. Both branches sponsor branches of the Taliban, though with plausible deniability...
-Fazl and ANP would jointly defeat the opponents in the August 22 by-polls and the PTI will face a stunning defeat in every district of the province.

Ghulam Ahmed Bilour, the ANP candidate for NA-1 Peshawar, said that all the promises of the PTI were a mere drama therefore Pakhtun people will now vote for him.

Mian Iftikhar Hussain, Abdur Rauf Jan of JUI-F and Zulfiqar Afghani of PPP also addressed the gathering.
