"200 Sikhs Stuck In Afghanistan...": Amarinder Singh's Urgent Appeal

Afghanistan Crisis: Hours after Taliban captured Afghanistan's capital Kabul, the airspace was closed today, aggravating the crisis.

Taliban's return to power to Afghanistan after 20 years has escalated the humanitarian crisis that started when the United States pulled out its troops in May. As scenes of turmoil emerge, triggering concerns and appeals worldwide about the safety of foreigners as well as locals, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh also made an urgent request about the evacuation of 200 Sikhs stuck in a Gurudwara. Urge @DrSJaishankar, MEA, GoI, to arrange for immediate evacuation of all Indians, including around 200 Sikhs, stuck in a Gurudwara in Afghanistan after the #Taliban takeover. My govt is willing to extend any help needed to ensure their safe evacuation. @MEAIndia Afghanistan's fall to #Taliban doesn't augur well for our country. It'll strengthen the Sino-Pak nexus against India (China has already sought militia's help on Uyghur). The signs are not at all good, we need to be extra vigilant now at all our borders. "Urge @DrSJaishankar, MEA, GoI, to arrange for immediate evacuation of all Indians, including around 200 Sikhs, stuck in a Gurudwara in Afghanistan after the #Taliban takeover. My govt is willing to extend any help needed to ensure their safe evacuation. @MEAIndia (sic)," the Punjab Chief Minister tweeted, asking Foreign Minister S Jaishankar for help. Hours after Taliban captured Afghanistan's capital Kabul, the airspace was closed today, aggravating the crisis.
