Former Pakistani Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed called on Islamabad to engage in high-level political and strategic dialogue with the Afghan Taliban.

Pakistan's policy in Afghanistan has failed, he said.

In an interview with Aaj News on Sunday, Mushahid Hussain Sayed clarified, "We could not understand Afghanistan."

Referring to the country's claim that the TTP is using Afghan soil to carry out attacks in Pakistan, the former Pakistani senator said that the Afghan Taliban have rejected this claim and said that "evidence" should be provided.

He stressed that Pakistan does not have a clear strategy towards the TTP.
