 (JI) chief Syed Munawar Hasan has opposed another All Parties Conference (APC) on talks with the Taliban, and urged the PML-N government to implement decisions taken at the previous APCs. He warned that calling another APC would be "a plot to harm the collective will of the nation and to serve US interests". According to a blurb, Munawar said that another APC on "US wishes would be a farce, sheer waste of time and a conspiracy to harm the country's solidarity".

The JI chief said that the Taliban and their supporters were struggling for peace in the country and fighting against US terrorism, adding that they were one entity as the end of US brutalities and the protection of Pakistain's independence and illusory sovereignty were their common goal. He said the Taliban might have committed various blunders but it would be unjust to ignore their sacrifices against the US and to hold them accountable for their lapses. "If the government can have dialogue with Baloch nationalists and Sindhi nationalists, why not with the Taliban"," he said.
