PESHAWAR: The Pakhtun-khwa Jamhoori Ittehad (PJI), an alliance of nationalist parties, on Sunday expressed concern over the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan and underscored the need for resolving the hostilities through talks.
A meeting of the Pakhtunkhwa Jamhoori Ittehad was held with its convener Sikandar Hayat Khan Sherpao. Mukhtiar Bacha of National Party, Afzal Khamosh and Shakil Wahidullah Khan of Mazdoor Kissan Party, Akhunzada Haider Zaman of Awami Workers Party, Ajmal Khan of Ulasi Tehreek and others attended the meeting.
The participants in the meeting said that all the stakeholders should join hands and make concerted efforts for the restoration of peace in Afghanistan.
War, they said, was not the solution to any problem and it would further aggravate the situation by adding to the sufferings of the common Afghans.
They added that Pakistan would also suffer from the spillover of violence from the neighboring country therefore no effort should be spared to facilitate the peace process.
The Pakhtunkhwa Jamh-oori Ittehad, the meeting said, wanted an end to the ongoing violence and the restoration of true democracy. Peace in Pakistan was also linked to the stability of Afghanistan, they added.
