New Delhi: Amid the uncertainty surrounding the peace prospect in Afghanistan ahead of fast approaching deadline of US troop’s withdrawal, Taliban spokesperson Suhail Shaheen has said Pakistan is welcome to help the group arrive at a negotiated settlement but it “cannot dictate to us or impose its views on us.”
The Taliban spokesperson has denied the meeting with the representatives of India. He expressed the hope that India would be neutral in the conflict between the Taliban and Afghanistan.
He also said that Governments “come and go” and that the incumbent government “was imposed after occupation”.
“We expect India to remain impartial. This is our struggle, the struggle of the people of Afghanistan,” he said.
