PESHAWAR: President of ANP and Chairman NA Standing Committee on Foreign Relations Asfandyar Wali Khan emphatically declared on Thursday that the provincial  government of Pakhtunkhwa and the Awami National Party stood by the Swat peace pact, which was followed by the endorsement of the Nizam-e-Adl Regulations 2009 by the President of Pakistan, adding that people had mandated the ANP for the establishment of lasting peace.

As you know that the GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR (GWOT) has escalated once again in the North West of Pakistan. Malakand in general
and Swat in particular has become the frontline of this Global Phenomenon, where a full fledged war is going on. As a consequence more than 1.5 million people have been displaced so far and millions more are trapped in extremely miserable conditions inside the valleys and waiting desperately to be rescued.
According to reliable international sources this is THE LARGEST INTERNAL DISPLACEMENT of the world in the last fifteen years and may become the largest displacement of the human history if the situation persists. It's the worst catastrophe of the recent past where the level of sufferings and devastations is far more than that of recent earth quake in Pakistan and Sonami in Indian Ocean. But unfortunately the international community has not yet responded properly and adequately.

Chief Minister Pakhtunkhwa, Ameer Haidar Khan Hoti has appealed the Pakistani living abroad particularly the Pukhtoons to assist the IDPs purely on Islamic brethren and humanitarian basis who were affected badly due to military operation against the militants and terrorists. He also laid stress on the international community, the other three provincial governments and the federal government to assist more and more the affected people leaving their homes and valuable assets behind. We have no other option except triumph and we will never allow any one to capture our land and shed the blood of innocent Pakhtuns. He expressed these views during a message to the nation telecast by a private Pashto News Channel “AVT Khyber”.
