Increased. Corrupt and incompetent but been bravely facing Taliban, JI and MQM at the same time without making a lot of noise. Held a day of mourning in Khi without any distasteful incident after their leader was killed. Lost miserably in the province they had control but not crying about it. Can say “I am afraid of MQM” on national TV! Several members lost to PTI and PML(N) and not crying out Lota slogans.
Re: Respect for ANP....
The post election conduct is mature, but they really can't do much in Karachi as I remember reading that they themselves can't go to sohrab goth because TTP has pushed them out. ANP's dreams of Karachi seats due to Pathan refugees in Karachi seems to have evaporated for the moment. Otherwise, shahi syed is no slouch who threatened muhajirs or penahgirs to go to India if someone dare remove (illegal) afghans.
Re: Respect for ANP....
Lot of respect for ANP for standing upto taliban and their mature response after losing the election. They need a better leader than Asfandar.
