In a so-called good-faith move, Pakistan released nine members of Taliban aimed to revive the peace process. Among nine released Taliban are two former ministers to former government of Taliban before its collapse and the rest are government officials or low and mid-level commanders. The move comes after a three day-long visit of High Peace Council (HPC) led by Salahuddin Rabbani, son of Prof.

Rabbani who was killed by terrorist who claimed to be a representative of Quetta Shura. After three days stay in Islambad and meeting with high-ranking government officials as well as religious scholars, the body described the visit successful in terms of getting support for forging peace deal with Taliban militants.

According to reports of some Pakistani newspapers, the HPC was desirous of more senior Taliban prisoners to be released and ensured safe passage to Afghanistan, considering this a necessary condition for pushing the peace process with Taliban forward. It is claimed that Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Mullah Omer's one time second in command, and Mullah Toorabi who are not released yet, could play more decisive roles in peace process. However, some

Pakistani officials talked with news agencies with condition of anonymity about the possibility of further release if the process yields positive results.
It is not clear that what specific steps HPC expect and put with Pakistani officials, but if the release of Taliban officials and commanders was the core, the discussion was partially successful. But the key issue is this that whether released officials and commanders would sincerely cooperate with the government? If yes, to what extent is their influence among Taliban leadership rank and lower ranks to bring them on the negotiation table?
It is really a matter of suspicion to consider that jailed leaders of Taliban are moderate and flexible comparatively to leaders who have been fighting against foreign and Afghan security forces.  Taliban leaders frequently rejected peace offer with government because it was

in their view a 'puppet government', not authorized to make deals.
Moreover, considering the class of half full—released prisoners will cooperate to solicit peace deal with Taliban—many doubt their influence. Changes have taken place with Taliban ranks and new generation replaced those were killed or arrested. It would be hard for them to convince militants who have been pursuing militancy during past eleven years to lay down arms and join government without major changes in the constitution and other laws.
