He also disapproved of reported moves by Pakistan to hold talks with Betullah Mehsud, prime accused in the assassination of Benazir Bhutto case.

Karzai said if the peace deal by Pakistan with the Taliban in North West Frontier Province puts Afghanistan at risk, he would raise the issue with the leadership in Islamabad.

"That should not happen. That is certainly something we are concerned about and we hope our brothers in Pakistan will not allow that," he said on Karan Thapar on his talk show in a TV news channel when asked whether he was apprehensive that the peace deal between Pakistan government and Taliban could come at the cost of Afghanistan.

"If a thing like that happens, of course we will take it up (with Pakistan). I definitely hope that will not be the case. That will not happen. We must be very careful," he added.

"We cannot under no circumstances allow elements that are inimical to this country or that to operate from either country," Karzai said.

The Pakistan government and local Taliban in NWFP signed a 15-point agreement on May 21 whereby the militants will stop suicide attacks and the army will gradually be withdrawn from the restive Swat valley.

Asked how Kabul would react if the deal came at its cost, the Afghan President said: "Well, we will not only be upset but extremely angry."

To a question, he said he had not checked up with the US on Pakistan's peace deals with the Taliban as "we know what is going on.... when something is wrong, we know it and raise our voice to the concerned people."

Karzai, however, said peace deals with those Taliban who want to return to normal life were good. "But (talks with) the hardcore ones, the extremist al-Qaeda elements or other terrorist networks ... that is wrong," he said.

On reported moves by Pakistan's Yousuf Raza Gilani government to hold talks with Mehsud, Karzai said: "(Talks) with the killers of Benazir Bhutto, whosoever they are, I think it is wrong."

When referred to demands from western nations for India to join international forces in Afghanistan, Karzai said it was for New Delhi and the world community to decide on the matter.

Suggesting that he was trying to have a balance in Afghanistan's relations with India and Pakistan, Karzai said he would not take a step that would bring "more rivalries in the region."

Praising India for its contribution to the reconstruction of Afghanistan, Karzai said he did not want any problem between India and Pakistan to affect his country.
