No Afghan national will be asked to leave India without MHA's approval: Officials

No Afghan national living in India will be asked to leave the country without the approval of the Union Home Ministry, officials said on Monday. This comes in the wake of the uncertain situation in Afghanistan.

As the situation in Afghanistan continues to be uncertain, the Union Home Ministry has said that no Afghan national living in India will be asked to leave the country without its approval, according to officials. The MHA's decision came about a fortnight after the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan and many Afghans arriving in India fearing retribution from that country's new rulers.
