Days after US and Taliban signed a peace deal, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has raised an objection to the prisoner release clause.
Addressing a press conference, Ghani said that no commitment has been made for the release of 5000 prisoners and added that it can be a part of the negotiation but cannot be a pre-condition.
Under the landmark agreement signed on Saturday in Qatar, 5,000 Taliban would be released in exchange for up to 1,000 government detainees by 10 March.
