ISLAMABAD, Feb 11: Awami National Party (ANP) Senator Haji Adeel on Monday said his party had invited the country’s 26 political parties to its All Parties Conference on counter terrorism to be held on Feb 14.

Mr Adeel told a news conference at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House here that the final decision on reconciliation with Taliban would be made after All Parties Conference (APC) was held. He said ANP would accept the APC decisions.

The senator said his party had always adopted the way of reconciliation and was ready to forgive and forget the killing of its activists for it.
