Summary Azam Khan Hoti was expelled from ANP few weeks ago.

PESHAWAR (Web Desk)- Senator Azam Khan Hoti has accused Awami National Party (ANP) leaders Asfandyar Wali Khan and Afrasiab Khattak of taking approximately $35 million from the United States as part of a secret agreement.

During a news conference in Peshawar, Azam Hoti said the ANP leaders had disappeared for ten days in the US and their mobile phones remained switched off during that time.

He alleged that a former member of National Assembly and Pakistani-born US citizen Nasim-ur-Rehman assisted to finalise the agreement between American authorities and Asfandyar Wali.

Nasim-ur-Rehman first held a meeting with Asfandyar Wali and then met with Begum Naseem Wali. A cheque was also handed over to Afrasiab Khattak, whereas, the account was in the bank of an Arab country. 

He added that he had no proof for these allegations but he was tabling these facts keeping the ground realities into consideration.

Earlier this month, the ANP had ejected Senator Azam Khan Hoti from the party on grounds of violating party discipline by demanding the resignation of Asfandar Wali and Afrasiab Khattak.

Hoti had warned a couple of weeks ago that if former party chief Asfandyar Wali Khan did not quit soon, he would open up a ‘Pandora’s Box’ against him.
