A group of persons from the Hindu and Sikh communities who are trapped in Afghanistan were provided assurance of safety by the Taliban. Over three hundred Hindus and Sikhs are reportedly taking shelter at the Karte Parwan Gurudwara in Kabul.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa, spokesperson of the Akali Dal, and President of the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) quoted in a tweet- “Hindus and Sikhs are in panic in Afghanistan. They can’t even contact the embassy. I request @DrSJaishankar ji that efforts should be made to bring back to India Hindu Sikh people who are taking shelter in Gurdwara Karte Parwan Sahib and staying in hotels near Embassy.”
According to the reports, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs stated the main problem for travel to and from Afghanistan is the operational status of Kabul airport and the government of India is committed to the safe return of all Indian nationals from Afghanistan and will institute flight arrangements once Kabul airport opens for commercial operations.
Later by reviewing the situation in Afghanistan it was decided that the Embassy personnel in Kabul would be immediately moved to India. This movement has been completed in two phases and the Ambassador and all other India-based personnel have reached New Delhi. And regarding the Afghan nationals, the visa services will continue through an e-Emergency visa facility which has been extended to Afghan nationals.
