ISLAMABAD Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that Pakistan itself will take a decision in regards to expanding the military operation to the North Waziristan Agency in accordance with its timeframe, reports DawnNews. Responding to a query on drone attacks, he said drone attacks helped expel the extremists from the area.
He also said that there is no harm in resolving the Afghanistan issue through negotiations with the Taliban and Pakistan is raring to play a role in this connection.
“Afghan President Hamid Karzai has requested Pakistan for help in this connection, for which Pakistan is ready to play its role,” the Foreign Minister said.
Qureshi said that if the Taliban are prepared to quit weapons to work under the Afghan constitution, then there is no wrong in talking to them.
Qureshi also ruled out the likelihood of meeting with his Indian counterpart Krishna during the London Conference, as India is not displaying seriousness for the Composite Dialogue.
