Taliban not on Pak-Afghan jirga's agenda
|
 The seven-point agenda of the three-day Pak-Afghan jirga starting from Thursday in Kabul did not mention the Taliban-linked insurgency, but says that the delegates will discuss ways to devise a bilateral mechanism between the two countries to combat terrorism.
A copy of the agenda Daily Times saw on Monday said the jirga would also seize any opportunity to strengthen bilateral relations between the two bickering neighbours. ?Appraisal of factors and circumstances that contribute to the growth of terrorism and extremism,? was the second point with the first being a discussion on strengthening bilateral relations.
Critics say the Afghan side will use the second point to complain about Pakistan?s alleged involvement or role in the factors contributing to the growth of terrorism and extremism.
The third point is about developing mutual understanding to ?deny sanctuaries, training and financing to terrorist elements involved in subversive activities?. The joint jirga will also discuss ways to eliminate poppy cultivation. Strengthening goodwill and confidence building is the second-last point on the agenda before one on the formation of committees to meet periodically to facilitate the implementation of decisions to be taken at jirga meetings. No exact timing for the inaugural session has been mentioned for security reasons.
