PESHAWAR: The provincial Information Secretary of Awami National Party (ANP) Haroon Bashir Bilour has said that its party always struggled against those who transgressed the limits of constitution in the country and fought every battle democratically for the rights of the province.

ANP still believe that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has failed to safeguard the due rights of the province at China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) share and its party leadership will soon take a effective and pragmatic stand against this injustice distribution against the centre, he added.

The overall popularity graph of the ANP has increased at the province and the party will clinch more seats at the coming general election of 2018 as the voters disappointed from the current government and its allies when it comes to question of province rights.

The establishment of Ehtesab Commission meant to create and then arrest the political opponent of the PTI and ANP was the centre of this biasness for more than three years and still our leaders are being openly threatened on the name fake accountability.

No political party will oppose reformation process in the government and semi government departments but ANP disagree with PTI for its hastens reforms packages without proper mechanism and Ehtesab Commission was the first instance he added.

The plans and design made by ANP government in the education sector, the present government is currently mimicking it without actual and pragmatic measurements but masses have get them and will oust the party from the political scene very soon he claimed.

The provincial capital remain divert from the concentration of development schemes of the PTI and all resources and energy of the province and its people used for staging protests and agitations to serve the motive of party chief Imran Khan, Bilour added.
