Gilani suggests creation of new peace panel

KABUL (Pajhwok): The chairman of Mahaz-e-Milli party has suggested the establishment of a new body to lead peace talks with the Taliban.

Syed Hamid Gilani said in an interview with a private TV channel on Sunday that the new body should be acceptable to all parties.

Gilani urged President Ashraf Ghani not to insist on completing his five-year constitutional tenure in order to ensure the return of peace.

“Ghani, at what price do you want to complete five years? Around 300 people have been killed every day,” Gilani pointed out.

He urged the Taliban and government to demonstrate sincerity of intent as they continued peace negotiations in Doha.
