Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday said Indian authorities are in touch with a group of Sikhs taking shelter in a gurudwara near Kabul, and they will be brought to India as soon as possible. Mr. Puri, who was approached by Bharatiya Janata Party MP Hans Raj Hans for help to the Sikhs, also discussed the issue with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar.With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
