Afghan President Hamid Karzai is reportedly ready for talks with the Taliban operating in his country hopeful of including them in governance but not the Pakistani counterpart but only if they terminate links with Pakistan as that nation is trying to “enslave” Afghanistan.

Karzai belittled Pakistani Taliban infiltrating the border to create havoc in Afghanistan and said that they can never be the real Taliban and were instead bring disrepute to the Taliban of the land. He charged Pakistan for infiltrating terrorists into Afghanistan “using the name of the Taliban” to “destroy” the land and defame his nation. He said this shows “clear animosity” for the “Afghans and the Pashtoons because it is their sons who are being killed on both sides of the Durand line.”
