Awami National Party (ANP) Provincial President Mian Iftikhar Hussain has strongly condemned the deadly bomb blast in the Wana area of South Waziristan, which claimed seven lives, calling it a stark reminder of the worsening law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
In a statement issued here on Monday from the party’s headquarters Bacha Khan Markaz, ANP provincial president expressed deep sorrow over the loss of lives and shared the grief of the families of the victims.
“Pakhtunkhwa is once again in the grip of terrorism, and the surge in violent incidents has left citizens feeling unsafe and vulnerable,” he said.
Mian Iftikhar criticized both the federal and provincial governments, questioning their failure to ensure public safety. “The protection of people’s lives and property is a constitutional and primary responsibility of the government. Why are the authorities failing in their basic duties?” he asked.
“The deteriorating security situation raises serious questions about the performance of the government and its institutions.”
He further condemned the policy of resettling extremists, warning that such strategies have reignited violence in the province.
“Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is burning once again because of the same flawed policies. The state must learn from its past mistakes to prevent a more disastrous future,” he stressed.
“The Awami National Party has always raised its voice for peace and has made immense sacrifices for this cause. We remain committed to our history, the mission of our martyrs, and the protection of our people. We will continue to oppose all forms of terrorism and extremism.”
