Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems...
, has said that Pakistain's flawed policies are the cause of bad blood with Afghanistan.
"I am very sad that the relationship is not good and I am also sad to say that Pakistain is to blame. We did not have consistent policies dealing with Afghanistan and then the interference in the past in affairs of Afghans has caused a lot of bad blood," Khan who leads Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI) told VOA news during an interview published on Monday.
Khan emphasized the need for both Pakistain and Afghanistan to remove tensions in bilateral ties and build mutual trust to jointly tackle the security challenges facing them.
"I think in future I see very good relationship between the two countries. I think there is a realization in Pakistain that the mistakes were made. We feel that we have to correct this bad blood caused by flawed policies," Khan said.
PTI chief also urged Taliban to enter into peace negotiation with Afghan government as fighting is not the solution.
"They (the Taliban) must come to the table and they must resolve this dispute through talks and negotiations. War is never a solution. In fact, war leads to unintended consequences just like in Iraq and Syria," Khan said.
But if grinding of the peace processor succeeds with Taliban, the region is facing another security challenge from the terrorist group of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling

of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) that has already started its operation in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistain.
Khan held U.S. responsible for the emergence of ISIS.
The kind of utter stoopidity we've come to expect from Imran.
"Now you see the emergence of ISIS or Daesh [Islamic State] (the Arabic acronym for Islamic State), and God knows where this is going to go. This is a direct result of that insane U.S. invasion of Iraq," he said, using an acronym for the Islamic State group.
