President Awami National Party (ANP) Asfandyar Wali Khan on Thursday said that ANP would not support any unconstitutional step.

Talking to media after the party's consultative body meeting here, Asfanyar said the constitution clearly elaborates powers of every institution and hoped that no institution would overstep its authority.

"If any such thing happens, ANP would strongly oppose it," he added.

He said that due to internal and external situation, the country could not afford political desatability and in present circumstances ANP's top priority was to defuse any possible confrontation.

Replying to a question, he said there is no "point of no return" in politics and there is always room for negotiation," adding that the democratic system would continue in the country.
