The Pakistani authorities have said they support an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led peace process as fresh reports emerged regarding the latest secret talks between the Afghan officials and Taliban group representatives in Qatar.
“It has been our consistent position that politically negotiated settlement is vital for lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan,” Nafees Zakaria, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan.
He said Pakistan believes that all efforts should be made towards a sustainable peace settlement through an Afghan owned and Afghan led peace process.
Zakaria further added “In our view, QCG is an appropriate forum in which Pakistan is ready to play its role. We will continue with our efforts in facilitating the peace process towards a lasting settlement in collaboration with the Afghan Government.”
The Afghan government gave up efforts in the format of QCG comprising of representatives of Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, and the United States after the group failed to pursue the Taliban group to revive direct peace talks.
The Afghan officials said the QCG participants agreed to take actions against the militant groups pursuing violence, emphasizing that Pakistan failed to take any action against the Taliban group leadership based in the country.
The officials have long been criticizing Pakistan for remaining reckless to act against the leadership councils of the Taliban and Haqqani terrorist network which they insist are based in Quetta and Peshawar cities of Pakistan.
Sure Pakistan will support their best man to be in Kabul to influence long terms Afghan policy and strategy against India. HiG is useless in Pakistan by moving him to Afghanistan Pakistan can influence and can create more issue than before.
Hekmmatyar has been favourite of Pakistan since 1974. His son Habibul Rahman asking other Afghan refugees in Pakistan to join them in Shamshato camp so they can get better deal from Afghan government. This is the same Hekmatyar who supported suicide bombing against Afghans and US. In 2008 Tanveer Newspaper he said the following:

In my opinion, Pakistan should bomb all TTP hideouts in Afghanistan
The Punjabi Munafigeen should never be trusted by Afghans . They are asfal us safileen . They should be kicked out of Afghanistan and hounded upto the borders of India so that India can further decimate these Fascist Terrorist of Punjabi Raj.
Punjbi ISI failed Pakistan and used and abused Pakistani people. Chief of Army Staff provided the information about Mullah Mansoor to get cash for his retirement from US and blamed Iran for that. Punjabii terrorists and spies are well known inside Afghanistan and they will be hunted down one by one soon.
