Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said Pakistan is ready to hold talks with the Taliban regime in Afghanistan on reasonable terms as both countries observe a 48-hour temporary ceasefire. Addressing the federal cabinet meeting on Pak-Afghan border tensions on Thursday, the premier said that now the ball is in the Taliban regime’s court for a permanent ceasefire. The premier said that the Taliban regime carried out the recent attack on Pakistan at India’s behest. The attacks came when Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi was on a visit to India.
