Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said that India, United States, Russia and China must join hands for a genuine fight against terrorism in the region. He said the Donald Trump regime should demonstrate its resolve to combat the threat by changing America’s existing policy towards Pakistan.
Blaming Pakistan’s ISI for revival of Taliban in Afghanistan, Mr Karzai also said the US must deeply reassess its relations with Pakistan and come together with countries like India to defeat terrorism and extremism in the region. Mr Karzai made the remarks during a conversation with Minister of State for External Affairs MJ Akbar at the concluding session of the three-day long Raisina Dialogue.
Mr. Akbar called for concerted global action against terrorism and asserted that not an inch of India’s territory is for compromise.
