Pakistan Fears of Political Isolation; Stressing on Negotiations with Taliban

Afghan analysts say that recent concerns of Russia, China and even Iran over presence of Taliban in Afghanistan threaten Pakistan to not lose the game.

Not long after the ongoing insurgency in Afghanistan, Pakistani authorities in an unprecedented way are demanding the Afghan officials to set behind negotiation table with Taliban.

Pakistan’s National Security Adviser, Sartaj Aziz has recently announced that Pakistan is not ready to support Afghan Peace Talks in the current conditions.

“Currently it is not suitable that Pakistan has any role in Afghan Peace process,” Sartaj Aziz, Pakistan’s security adviser said.

However, Pakistani Prime minister, Nawaz Sharif in his recent speeches at the White House renewed commitments for supporting Afghan Peace Talks.

“Pakistan find itself in danger, because it seems that the combat against terrorism become globally,” Tahir Hashemi, Afghan teacher said.

Meanwhile, some are said to consider Pakistan is in an economic, social and political deadlock.

“Currently, Pakistan is in a political, economic and social deadlock which has no military problem, but the Pakistani people are tired of its conditions,” Aziz Rafi, civil activist said.

Senator Faisal Sami said, “Pakistan has never been honest in its policies against Afghanistan.”

Reports suggest that Kabul will not attend any Peace Talks with Taliban group because the key is in Pakistan’s hands.
