New York: India on Thursday said it does not make any distinction between a "good Taliban and a bad Taliban" and consider the extremist group as a terrorist organisation.
"Taliban per se from the Indian point of view is a sheer terrorist organisation," said External Affairs Minister S M Krishna.
"India makes no distinction between a good Taliban and a bad Taliban," Krishna said. He said he had spoken about a "political settlement among the people".
"What the people of Afghanistan want is something that they have to decide for themselves," he added.
In a recent interview published in The Wall Street Journal, Krishna was reported as saying that India believed there was no military solution to the conflict in Afghanistan and that NATO combat operations should give way to a political settlement with Taliban.
