Sadia Hussain | 13 years ago | Reply The prospects of reconciliation with Taliban seem daunting! Any deal or accord with Taliban should not mean that they will have a free hand in imposing their ideology or even propagating it. Such elements need to be reintegrated into the existing political system. We must be clear in what we want and what we are willing to give so that the fiasco of Sawat peace deal is not repeated
