Re: Nawaz appeasing Taliban: Calls for Taliban talks
After 12 years of war, it is absolutely naive and ignorant to assume that Taliban are simply one single entity. While in fact they are now divided into so many small sub-groups with different aims; different methodology; different source of funding etc etc, some are fighting small regional battles while others have a bigger agenda. So those Talibans who simply fighting Pakistan for being an American ally or fighting Pakistan so it recognizes them as legitimate authority in Afghanistan (yes such group does indeed exist) then thats mainly Afghanistan’s problem. If Karazi’s government has agreed to reconcile with them, the US plus the international community as recognized them as stakeholders in Afghanistan, its pointless for Pakistan to keep fighting these animals at the expense slaughtering its own citizens especially after the NATO forces leave. Pakistan has nothing to lose by signing ceasefire with Taliban who have Afghan centric demands but Pakistan will continue its battle against those group who challenge government’s writ in Pakistan and create crisis in the country, both PTI and PMLN are in total agreement on this.
Simply indulging in paranoia is just silly, it makes one’s views look baseless and outdated. I hope you’d watched the Capital Talk on 24th May where all major parties presented comprehensive and well researched policies to define the peace process. Those policies and reasonings were far from the same old sh** MQM goons feed their slavish supporters. I suggest you watch the programe and appreciate the complex yet workable approach to finally solve this bloody conflict.
