National Awami Party

The National Awami Party (NAP) was a political party in Pakistan founded in 1957, advocating for progressive causes and regional autonomy. It aimed to represent diverse ethnic groups and promote democratic governance, often opposing military rule and centralization efforts. The party focused on social justice, economic development, and preserving regional identities. In the early 1970s, it played a significant role in politics, especially in regions like Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. However, it faced government repression and was eventually banned in 1975, reflecting the tense political climate of the time and the challenges of regional and political dissent.
