Daniyal Bilour quits ANP over personal reasons

Ishaq Khan

PESHAWAR: Daniyal Bilour, grandson of martyred Bashir Ahmed Bilour and son of martyred Haroon Bilour on Monday has resigned as member of the Awami National Party (ANP).

According to reports, Daniyal Bilour has sent his resignation to the ANP leadership.

Daniyal Bilour was a candidate of provincial secretary information during the intra-party elections of late.

In a statement, he said the party leadership wanted him to disqualify from party elections.

While, Ghulam Ahmed Bilour said resignation of Daniyal Bilour was his personal decision.

Daniyal Bilour is the son of slain party leader Haroon Bilour, who was among 22 people killed when a suicide attack attacked a party corner meeting in Peshawar days before the July 25 elections last year. He was contesting for the PK-78 constituency in the upcoming election.

It is pertinent to note here that Bilour’s father, Bashir Ahmed Bilour, too had lost his life in a 2012 suicide bomb explosion in the city’s Qissa Khwani bazar. Haroon was the eldest son of Bashir Bilour and was contesting elections from the same constituency as his late father.
