PESHAWAR: The Awami National Party (ANP) has announced to postpone its protest against the administrative failure and rocketing prices of commodities in the province due to the rain spell in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. A statement issued from Bacha Khan Markaz said on Wednesday that ANP’s provincial president Aimal Wali Khan has announced a new date for the protest. Quoting Aimal Wali, the statement said due to the incompetence of the provincial rulers the province was faced with financial crisis and other administrative shortcomings for the last nine years, rendering the masses helpless. Aimal Wali said the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were already faced with multiple problems and the ANP will not add to their miseries by calling a province-wide protest during this cold weather. With the consent of the party, Aimal Wali said now the protest will be held on January 13 (Friday). Wali directed the party office bearers to utilize all their energies in persuading the people to take part in ANP’s protest in large numbers to make it a successful show.
