The Foreign Minister (FM) Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on June 19, that Pakistan was not responsible for Afghanistan's internal problems and was blamed and made out to be a scapegoat by Afghanistan whenever its affairs didn't appear to be moving in the right direction, reports Dawn. The FM said Taliban presence and freedom of movement in Pakistan was an "exaggeration". "Unfortunately, when things aren't moving in the right direction, you're (Afghanistan) looking for scapegoats and the favourite scapegoat you have is Pakistan. When there's failure within (Afghanistan) you blame Pakistan for that. "Pakistan is not responsible for the failure within, for the squabbling going on in Afghanistan, if the Afghan leadership can't sit and work out a peace deal," said Qureshi.
