ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said on Sunday that PTI backtracked on nine points, including the Police Act, Afghan policy, and the banned TTP and TTA, and that led to the failure of the talks.
On X, Naqvi released details of the nine points and said the KP government had initially agreed to sign a written agreement and submit an implementation plan within 72 hours. Under the proposed agreement, the KP government had agreed to reconsider the Police Act 2026 in view of the security situation and protect security matters from political interference.
It had also agreed to prevent terrorists from operating freely or finding safe havens in the province.
The agreement included a clear condemnation of the TTP, Tehreek-e-Taliban Afghanistan (TTA) and other terrorist groups.
The KP government was also expected to support the national policy on Afghan refugees, including their repatriation and the dismantling of Afghan camps in the province. Another point stated that the KP government would not have contact with the interim Afghan government.
The proposed agreement also included substantial funding for counterterrorism operations and the police.
The KP government was further expected to take full responsibility for counterterrorism measures and strengthen cooperation with the armed forces.
The remaining points covered counterterrorism decisions in former FATA and the merged districts and implementation of the National Action Plan. According to Naqvi, the KP government backed out of these commitments during the final stage of negotiations. He said security matters should not be politicised while the province was facing a war against terrorism.
