ANP to support ‘Seraiki province’, says Khattak
LAHORE: The Awami National Party (ANP) will support the creation of a Seraiki province in Southern Punjab, ANP NWFP President Afrasiyab Khattak said on Sunday. According to a private TV channel, Khattak said the demand for a Seraiki province was justified as it was in line with the aspirations of the majority of people of Seraiki origin.
He said 90 percent of Swat had been cleared of the Taliban. But the Pakistan Army was still facing some resistance in the village of Shamozai, which would also be cleared soon, he added. Khattak said the government was evolving a comprehensive strategy for the repatriation of the internally displaced persons and the displaced families would be able to return home once the civil administration resumes functioning in the cleared areas. daily times monitor
