PARIS: The NATO forces are losing the war against Taliban in Afghanistan, sais President Asif Ali Zardari in an interview to a French magazine Tuesday.
He said this is so because the international community has failed to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people.
"The American and NATO forces made wrong estimations of the ground realities," said Zardari. "There is no hope of the Taliban coming back to power, but they are strengthening themselves again."
To another question he said that he would clarify to the British prime minister in a one-to-one meeting that Pakistan has made the most sacrifices in the war against terror.
This is in response to David Cameron's latest statement in India about Pakistan exporting terror to Afghanistan and other countries of the world, and having a dual policy of tolerating the Taliban, while at the same time demandind respect as a democratic nation.
