Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan proposed an interim government as a possible solution to an apparent impasse on the current peace process in the country, according to local media.
Khan believes the Afghan peace process is cutting a rough time and the negotiators have reached a deadlock over a sustainable peace in the country.
“The Afghan government was a hurdle in peace process that was insisting that Taliban should talk to it,” said Khan, as being quoted during his interaction with local journalists at his office in Islamabad Monday.
Meanwhile, Shah Hussain Murtazawi, Deputy Spokesperson for President Ghani, reacts to Khan’s remark, exclaiming the government fate on foreigners thought!
“Interim government’s dance with neighboring instrument!!,” said Murtazawi in a local language in a tweet Tuesday.

In mid-March, Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned a senior Pakistani diplomat on Saturday to account for remarks by Prime Minister Imran Khan speculating about a “new government” in Kabul following a prevailing peace settlement.
Afghan Peace Process
The Afghan peace process is aspiring to put an end to a longest war the United States has ever fought in the country.
The US Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and the Taliban delegations last month wrapped the prolonged 16-day talks in Doha, Qatar, setting a draft agreement on foreign forces withdrawal and counterterrorism assurances.
