Topic : APC and latter linked developments.

All Parties Conference - APC, initiated by the Prime Minister, ended up with a consensus which was to start talks on the table with the leadership of the Pakistani Talibans. PTI Chairman, Imran Khan, also joined the APC, after his demand of separate talks with PM and Army Chief was fulfilled. However, even after the welcoming statement from the leadership of TTP, an attack was observed in the Upper Deer area which killed the Leutinent General of Pakistan Army. Adding more to the fire, TTP wasted no time in taking the credit of the attacks. Following this notorious event by the TTP, some major developments took place which resulted in the anger speech of General Kiyani. PTI chairman Imran Khan, who had been a staunch advocate of peace talks precisely changed his stands. PTI ideology of negotiations are now conditioned with the acceptance of the constitution of Pakistan and Seize fire.

I think APC on the first place was baseless, providing no line of action. It talked about the peace talks but failed to define the strategy, as to, what will be the subject of the negotiations?, To whom and how the talks would be done ?, and to what extent the Government would show flexibility? Prime Minister, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Shareef got a great chance of finalizing the matter to its fuller extent as all the political parties and establishment on board were willing and welcomed the a solution of country's biggest problem. Nevertheless, TTP made the situation worse and jeopardized the talks. After these events, now the government should change its line of action.

Pakistani Government should now put obligations on the part of TTP to surrender and get unarmed. They should also, TTP, accept the constitution of Pakistan and should accept guilt on their part in case of any future attacks between or after the peace talks.
