Nawaz had declared KP people ‘fool’
Shamim Shahid
Peshawar: The Awami National Party (ANP) demanded an apology on Sunday from PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif over his remark of referring to the people of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa as ‘fools’.
“Some of our people are easily fooled. And the easiest to fool are some people from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. This disease has originated from there [K-P],” Nawaz said a day earlier while releasing his party’s manifesto in Lahore.
ANP spokesperson Samar Haroon Bilour in a post on X said such language does not suit the leader of PML-N and a person who attained premiership thrice to refer to the people of a province as fools.
She added that Nawaz’s remark came at a time when his own daughter, Maryam Nawaz, was canvassing in the province.
“On what basis are these people seeking vote from people?” asked Bilour.
Criticising the PML-N, the ANP spokesperson said the same party had earlier refused to give the people of K-P their due rights. “Maybe Nawaz is repeating history,” she added.
“We know that any individual who has a domicile from Punjab is considered respectable in this country, but the leaders of K-P are still present.”
Condemning Nawaz for his language, the ANP spokesperson demanded the PML-N supremo to issue a public apology and retract his statement against the people of K-P.
