[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A Pak envoy has reportedly linked peace in Afghanistan to the resolution of Kashmire issue as the Afghan officials are pessimistic regarding Islamabad’s honesty to bring the Taliban group to negotiations table.Pakistain Prime Minister’s special envoy on Kashmire Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed has said a solution to both is required for peace and they cannot be "compartmentalised".
| That's actually true: the Paks are perfectly capable of stirring a shitstorm up in Afghanistan whenever they like, and link that to whatever they like... |
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title
Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
lies in Kashmire in the sense that when you talk of peace, you cannot compartmentalise peace, you can’t segregate a section... ok you can have peace in Kabul and let Kashmire burn. That is not going to happen," Syed was quoted as saying in a report by Economic Times.
Syed who is the chairman of the Pakistain Senate’s Defence and Defence Production Committee was speaking during an interaction at Washington-based think-tank Stimson Centre.
"So you (US) talk of a comprehensive peace settlement, so let the people of South Asia not be hostage to the hostility of the past. Let them move forward," Syed added.
Shezra Mansab, a member of the National Assembly of Pakistain, as Special Envoys of Pakistain Prime Minister on Kashmire, said "Our core issue this time is Kashmire and no peace can prevail in the region, if this issue is not solved. It is an international dispute. It is not an internal problem. The stakes are very high now, we are nuclear neighbours so we need to have peace on the issue of Kashmire and then rest of the things can be solved."
This comes as the Afghan officials earlier said that they will not expect Pakistain to help revive the Afghan peace talks with the Taliban group.
Efforts in the framework of Quadrilateral Coordination Group consisting of Afghanistan, Pakistain, US and China failed after the Taliban group rejected to participate in peace talks and announced their spring offensive.
The Afghan officials criticized Pakistain for remaining reluctant to act against the leadership councils of Taliban and Haqqani terrorist network based in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar

Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
