no body asking you to sympathize with ANP, its the WAR ON EXTREMISM that we need to support.
I dont agree at all. ANP is till its ears in corruption. I personally know of Bilors wife throwing actual orphans onto the streets to do Qabza of an Orphanages land. It cant get worse then that.The corruption in KPK is easily much worse then any other province.
The difference is that people have a very low expectation from the government to begin with.
ANP in Karachi is basically a criminal enterprise with militants, bhatta khors, target killer, drug peddlers and what not.
In the 80's and early nineties they were routinely conducting bombing and killings for KHAD in buses refugee camps etc.
Post 2001 they jumped form the Russian Godi into the American godi.
ANP has basically cheer lead every operation into tribal area in swat. In many instances they have on purpose scuttled peace deals, just to keep the Army engaged and out of their hair.
In WIKILEAKS Peshawar consulate cables its pretty clear that Afrasiyab Khattak is almost a CIA asset.
At every turn they have encouraged more spillage of blood, more drone attacks more military interventions etc.
Its also clear that the election were rigged in their favour by Mushi after they struck a deal in 2004.
I remember pretty well how they flooded Peshwar with their banners and adds all at once.
All of their families now have big businesses in Dubai, AbuDhabi.
From the litrally sacks of dollars being delivered out of US consulate.
They are a cancer in KPK, who represent the narrow fedual interest of a few large land owning families in charsada, Nowshera Swat and some hindko speaking business/criminal families like the Hotis and Bilors.
All their nationalism,progressivism etc is complete bullshit.
There are many books of other nationalist who saw through their lies both in Pakistan and Afghansitan.
Sorry no sympathy for them. None at all.
interestingly in 80s they were labelled as USSR agents,while they were opposing the MILITARY ESTABLISHMENT JIHAD,
now after 9/11 they are opposing fighting MILITANCY again,and this time they are being labelled as USA agents etc.
Their(ANP,s) stance has been consistent about fighting ISLAMIC EXTREMISM in the AFGHAN/PASHTOON land,its US and her allies around the world who has taken a 180 degree turn on this issue.
pakistani military establishment keep changing its policies as and when required by US.
As per financial corruption,nepotism and incompetence you are 100% ryt.As a media person and presumably living in Peshawer you would know that for these reasons educated middle class(whether small or big) of KPK never voted for ANP.Still ANP,s stance on MILITANCY in this region have been the right one for whatever reasons.This is one of reason they have suffered the most at the hands of MERCILESS and BRUTAL, MILITARY ESTABLISHMENT of Pakistan.
