Awami National Party (ANP) Central President Aimal Wali Khan has expressed deep concern over the indifference and negligence of both the central and provincial governments regarding the security of the people of Pakhtunkhwa.
In a statement issued here ANP leader lamented the tragic loss of innocent lives in the recent Bannu terrorist attack, stating that the residents of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, particularly those in the southern districts, continue to live under the constant threat of terrorism, violence, and insecurity.
Condemning the Bannu attack, Aimal Wali Khan criticized the silence of mainstream media on what he described as the systematic massacre of Pakhtuns. He alleged that this silence proves the existence of a wider conspiracy against the community. He further expressed disappointment over the divisions among Pakhtuns, stating that their lack of unity, political awareness, and ignorance of their rights are contributing to their ongoing suffering.
Aimal Wali Khan questioned the seriousness of the authorities in addressing terrorism, pointing out that while it was labeled a national issue, no concrete steps have been taken to combat it effectively.
He stressed that the sacrifices of the people of Pakhtunkhwa in the fight against terrorism were consistently ignored and called for immediate, practical measures to improve law and order in KP, especially in the southern districts.
He urged the government to clarify whether the lives of the people of Pakhtunkhwa hold any value and demanded immediate action to safeguard their security. He also called upon political parties, civil society, and the general public to unite in solidarity against terrorism.
Aimal Wali Khan reiterated that ensuring the safety of Pakhtunkhwa’s people is the primary responsibility of the provincial government, and any failure in this regard would be a betrayal of the nation.
He reaffirmed the ANP’s commitment to defending the rights of the people and pledged to continue their struggle for peace and security.
