Shahbaz Sharif’s tension increased on ceasefire with Afghanistan! Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM gave a hoax regarding the meeting

The period of 48 hours temporary ceasefire between Pakistan and Afghanistan is now going to end. Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif seems isolated on the political and administrative front in the country, as the new Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Suhail Afridi has boycotted his high-level meetings.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM boycotted the meeting
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Suhail Afridi decided not to attend the inter-provincial meeting of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to be held on October 17. In the letter issued by the Chief Minister’s Secretariat, it was said that due to important commitments he would not be present in the meeting. The letter also requested that former finance advisor Muzzamil Aslam represent KP in the Prime Minister’s meeting. According to sources, Afridi, despite being present in Islamabad, did not attend the meeting chaired by the PM.

48 hour temporary ceasefire ends
The temporary ceasefire started at 6 pm on 15 October 2025 and is now scheduled to end at 6 pm on 18 October. This ceasefire was implemented to reduce tension after the deadly clashes on Chaman and Spin Boldak border.

Last week, Pakistan also attacked the camps of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan in Kabul. These clashes are considered to be the most serious between the two countries after 2021, when the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan.

This development has come to light at a time when Taliban Foreign Minister was on a visit to India. Border tensions between both Pakistan and Afghanistan still remain high, and differences in political leadership are further complicating this.

Talks can take place in Doha
On the other hand, news agency Xinhua, quoting government sources of Afghan media, has told that Afghanistan and Pakistan can hold talks in Doha, the capital of Qatar. News agency Xinhua, quoting sources of Afghan media, has told that an Afghan delegation can go to Doha for talks with the Pakistani side. In this meeting of both the sides, talks are being held on possible extension of the existing ceasefire agreement.
