An ANP delegation led by provincial president Mian Iftikhar Hussain met JUI-F provincial chief Maulana Ataur Rehman, Jamaat-i-Islami (North KP) chief Inayatullah Khan, and PML-N provincial president Amir Muqam to discuss the tax issue and formally invite them to the July 13 gathering.<br \/>\nHe added that Mian Iftikhar Hussain had also contacted PTI provincial president Junaid Akbar, PPP leaders Humayun Khan and Muhammad Ali Bacha, NDM provincial chairperson Bushra Gohar, Malakand Trade Union chairman Abdul Rahim, and other political leaders by telephone. According to Mr Yousafzai, all of them accepted the invitation and assured their participation in the jirga.<br \/>\nHe said the struggle to protect the rights of the people of Malakand Division was a collective cause and vowed that the ANP would continue its campaign until the issue reached its logical conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLP Report PESHAWAR The Awami National Party (ANP) has announced that it will convene a grand Loya Jirga on July 13 to oppose the imposition of taxes in Malakand Division, saying the issue concerns the constitutional and historical rights of the region\u2019s people rather than any single political party.
