Recognition of Taliban govt will be a significant step, says PM Imran Khan

MOSCOW (92 News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the recognition of the Taliban government would be a significant step.

In an interview with Russia Today television, Prime Minister Imran Khan called for formation of an inclusive government in Afghanistan to strengthen national unity and create long term stability in the war-torn country.

He said that Pakistan is working with the neighbours of Afghanistan to determine what the Afghan government should do to gain international community’s recognition.

Imran Khan said that Pakistan was part of the international community and the recognition of the Taliban government in Afghanistan would be a significant step.

He said that a comprehensive analysis should be done to know the reasons as to why the army of the bravest nation of the world laid down its weapons without a fight.

The prime minister said that, unfortunately, a propaganda campaign was started against Pakistan. The propaganda was started to divert attention from the incapacity, corruption and lack of governance by the last Afghanistan government.

Imran Khan said that the second element in this propaganda was India which had made a huge investment in Afghanistan.
