It is to be added that, Pakistan’s Charge d’affaires Obaidur Rehman Nizamani is also expected to take part in the meetings.
JUI-F spokesman, Aslam Ghouri said the party leader was visiting Kabul on the invitation of the Afghan Taliban leadership to hold talks on the regional and security issues.
At the same time, Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that he would raise Pakistan’s security concerns with the Afghan Taliban and listen to their grievances as well.
JUI-F emir Maulana Rehman said he was confident to break the ice between the two sides and resolve issues.
Ties between Pakistan and Afghanistan have soured in the past months because of an uptick in the terrorist attacks which Islamabad says are carried out by the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) operating from inside the neighboring nation.
It is to be hereby added that, the bilateral relations between the neighboring nation took further hit when Pakistan started deporting illegal Afghans. Around half a million undocumented Afghans have so far left Pakistan since November 1, last year.
