The author is exaggerating to a good degree and takes it as things are black and white, which they are not. So don't believe the article literally and don't be depressed. However, there are factual stuff in it too, such as Bismillah Khan cultivating his loyalists where ever his influence reins, which does not help the situation at all.
And there is no out-right opposition from Jamiat against talk and settlement with the Taliban. This is something they are sure of that it will happen. Their leaders have made public appeals and are making pleas for peace and reconciliation. Rabani's son is on board the process, and so has Fahim come on record insisting that the Taliban have representation in the government.
