In Istanbul, the latest round of talks between Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban — mediated by Turkey and Qatar — once again ended without any solid result. Pakistan kept a very clear and firm stance, saying that only verbal promises are no longer enough for lasting peace in the region. (reported by Save Our Pak)
Pakistan’s Main and Legal Demands
Sources say Pakistan clearly told the Afghan side that cooperation against terrorism can only work if it is two-sided, measurable, and enforceable.
Pakistan’s key demands were simple and in line with international law:
- Complete elimination of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other terror groups from Afghan soil.
- Handover of their leaders to Pakistan.
- A written and guaranteed assurance of these actions.
Pakistan stressed that these points do not go against any country’s sovereignty — they fully follow UN resolutions and global rules. However, in the final stage of the talks, the Afghan delegation refused to take any real, practical steps, and that is why the negotiations failed.
Zabihullah Mujahid’s Statement — Just Propaganda
After the talks collapsed, Afghan Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid made a statement that Pakistan found misleading and unfair. His comments twisted Pakistan’s position, calling it something it wasn’t.
Diplomatic sources called Mujahid’s words a “typical old-style propaganda” far from truth. In reality, the TTP’s leadership, training camps, and funding networks are still openly operating inside Afghanistan, posing a continuous threat to peace in the region.
Joint Monitoring Mechanism Proposed by Pakistan
Pakistan suggested a strong idea to test the Afghan regime’s claims. If Kabul truly believes its soil is free of terrorists, it should agree to a joint monitoring system involving international observers or representatives from Turkey and Qatar, so the whole world can see the facts clearly.
Pakistan’s Message — No Compromise on National Security
Pakistan has always preferred dialogue, cooperation, and peace, and for decades it has hosted millions of Afghan refugees with brotherly care. It has never acted against Afghan people or challenged their sovereignty.
But according to sources, Pakistan — a nation that has sacrificed thousands of lives — cannot compromise on its citizens’ safety. It now seeks real action, not just words, to wipe out terrorism. True and lasting peace can only come when promises are matched by real steps on the ground.
