In response, the host Saleem Safi posted the agreement signed between ANP and proscribed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Saleem Safi replied to the objection that ANP wasn’t banned on Pakistani media but nationalists like Manzoor Pashteen.
He iterated that ANP KP President Aimal Wali was also invited in the same program but he was busy.
