Pakistani Premier has presented his country's demands to Afghan government, a source close to the issue has said.
Experts say the demands, which are yet to be announced officially by the government, threaten Afghanistan's sovereignty and independence.
Experts highlighted that any hasty move of the government about the demands would be a big mistake and treachery to Afghans that history will record.
Pakistan should be consulted on training and number of Afghan forces, Pakistan share in Afghan mines and development projects should be cleared, implementation of Pakistan strategies in future governments in Afghanistan, recruitment of Pakistani cadres in government institutions and Pakistan should be kept aware of any sort of agreement between Afghanistan and its western allies including the US and Nato are the demands suggested in written form by the Pakistani Premier Yusuf Raza Gilani during his recent visit to Kabul.
Afghan government has yet to officially comment on the demands suggested by the Pakistani premier.
Experts see some of the demands as obvious intervention of Pakistan into Afghan's domestic affairs.
"Pakistan has never been honest with us. Now Pakistan has made a close friendship with Afghan government and it was hidden before," Noor-ul Haq Ulomi, an Afghan political analyst, said.
Experts say in the past ten years Pakistan has increased its influence in almost all government organisations and even into foreign institutions and an increase in violence is part of Pakistan's pressures to make Afghan government accept the demands.
"Unfortunately Mr President has begun to negotiate covertly with Pakistan and the government's preparation to provide more concessions to Pakistan for reconciliation with the Taliban is one of the biggest mistakes it is making," Haroon Mir, an Afghan expert, said.
Experts urged the government to present the demands before Afghans and the House of Representativ
