ANP to oppose any unconstitutional steps: Asfandyar


15
ISLAMABAD: President Awami National Party (ANP) Asfandyar Wali Khan on Thursday said that the ANP would not support any unconstitutional steps.
Speaking to media representatives after the party’s consultative body meeting here, Asfandyar said the constitution clearly elaborated the powers of every institution and hoped that no institution would overstep its authority.
“If any such thing happens, the ANP would strongly oppose it,” he added.
He said that due to the internal and external situation, the country could not afford political instability and in the present circumstances the ANP’s top priority was to defuse any possible confrontation.
Replying to a question, he said there was no “point of no return” in politics and there was always room for negotiation”.
