^ The US is facilitating a Taliban office in Qatar so that they can talk to them. Afghanistan requests Pakistan to release top Taliban leaders for taks. Turkey is hosting a trilateral meeting of Taliban, Kabul and Islamabad to negotiate a deal. That’s fine. But if the same thing is proposed by a Pakistani leaders, he is termed Taliban Khan. Kamaal hey…

The reality is far worse than that.
Imran Khan has been clear in his perspective. What he has said is that

1. First, differentiate between foreign fighters (the real terrorists) and the local fighters (the incidental ‘terrorists’, who are merely defending themselves against army operations/foreign terrorists/drones).
2. Talk to the local fighters, as they are Pakistanis, and are NOT our enemies. They are merely defending their right to live, which is what anyone would do, you and me included. Agree on a common enemy (foreign taliban/alqaeda), and then conduct targeted military operations to oust THOSE foreign fighters. (PTI opponents who call Imran as Taliban Khan call for blanket bombing of waziristan, wiping out 1000 local civilians, women and children alongwith 10 foreign terrorists).

Imran is talking about negotiating with the good guys…the Pakistani citizens who are forced to defend themselves, and then labelled as terrorists when they do so.
The US and Afghans are talking to terrorists. They are hypocrites… but since blaming Imran Khan is in fashion these days, everything goes.
