Emphasizing its commitment for peace in Afghanistan, Pakistan on Tuesday said it wasn't solely responsible for bringing the Afghan-Taliban on the dialogue table.
Asserting that peace in Afghanistan is the best interest of Pakistan, Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria today said the country condemns terrorism in all forms and does not differentiate between terrorist groups, reports Dawn.
The response was apparently made after Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's speech yesterday in which he said Afghanistan "no longer expects Pakistan to bring the Taliban to the negotiating table".
Zakria reminded that Pakistan itself was the biggest victim of terrorism as thousands of its citizens and security forces personnel lost their lives in the war against terror.
He also maintained that a quadrilateral group was formed in an effort to bring peace in Afghanistan and Pakistan should not be held solely responsible for the failure of talks.
The statement comes after Afghan President in a new hard line stance threatened diplomatic reprisals against Pakistan if it did not take action against the Taliban in wake of the recent Kabul attack.
