Everything is over, says Afghan Sikh MP rescued from Kabul by India

Around 200 additional community members were still stuck in Afghanistan, according to the Afghan MP

On Sunday, an Indian Air Force C-17 cargo plane transported 168 people from Kabul, including 107 Indian nationals. The plane landed in Ghaziabad at the Hindon Indian Air Force installation.

Narinder Singh Khalsa, an Afghan Sikh MP, was among those who came.

Narinder praised the Narendra Modi administration and Indian authorities for keeping in touch with him and other members of the Afghan Sikh community during the previous five days when he arrived.

Around 200 additional community members were still stuck in Afghanistan, according to the Afghan MP.

“The entrance to Kabul airport is guarded by approximately 5000 Taliban militants. Yesterday, Taliban militants stopped our vehicle near the airport. Their officers afterwards forcibly returned us to the Gurdwara. We were all terrified, especially our Indian brothers, because it is currently impossible to tell who is a decent person and who is not. We attempted to reach the airport again at 8 p.m. We were able to enter through the VIP gate this time “While speaking to reporters at the Hindon air station, Narinder remarked.

The Taliban, according to the Afghan MP, wanted Afghan people to stay in the country and guaranteed them of their protection. However, given the “thousands of variations” of the Taliban across the country, Narinder said it was tough to reconcile with the judgment.

He inquired as to who you speak with.

When asked how he felt about leaving his nation, the MP sobbed.

“, he explained “For centuries, we have been in Afghanistan. You’re well aware of the current state of affairs. Even the government that had been in place for 20 years has left. Everything is finished. It’s a zero.”

Narinder, whose father Avtar Singh was killed in a terror assault in Jalalabad in 2018, had made a video message thanking the Indian government and the Indian Air Force for rescuing him and others from the Afghan Sikh community from Kabul prior to his evacuation.
