APP
ISLAMABAD - Awami National Party (ANP) spokesman Senator Zahid Khan on Wednesday said that the Local Government (LG) polls should be held in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa with the consensus of all political parties.
Various political parties, including the ANP, had serious reservations on the Local Government Act and might challenge it in the court of law, he told APP. He said that the ANP was against giving power to the chief minister to remove the elected representatives in the local body system.
Replying to a question, he said that the ANP had no intention to join the federal government. He called for launching an operation on the pattern of Malakand division to purge Karachi of all sorts of crimes. Mafias of land grabbing, drugs and weapons, and extortionists should be targeted without any discrimination to restore law and order in commercial hub of Pakistan, he said.
He demanded that Karachi should be declared as a trade and education city after cleansing of weapons and mafias. He also suggested that next general and local body elections should be held under biometric system after completion of fresh census and delimitations.
