PESHAWAR: President of the Awami National Party (ANP), Asfandyar Wali Khan said that national cohesion against extremism is the need of the hour and asked the government to let the political parties play their role against extremism.
He was talking with journalists after Qura’an khwani and dua for former Afghan king late Zahir Shah at Bacha Khan Markaz, the headquarters of ANP.
Asfandyar Wali said that the situation in the region is very crucial and all the political parties have to play their role to meet the challenge and they must have national cohesion for bringing peace in the region.
He said that if the political parties did not play their role then a vacuum would be created which will be filled by the extremists.

He said that there is a need of political process and not the power to stop the extremism and imperialism.
