On Monday, PM Khan, in an op-ed for The Washington Post, asserted that Pakistan should not be blamed for the losses of the US and the consequences of the war in Afghanistan. He urged to looking forward and avoiding conflicts in the future rather than denouncing Pakistan. He underlined the fact that Pakistan has no role when well-trained and equipped Afghan security forces could not fight the lightly armed Taliban.
