New Delhi: Afghanistan's first female Sikh MP Anarkali Kaur Honaryar, who reached Delhi on Sunday expressed concerns over the developing situation in her country asked the international community to support and speak up.  Speaking to our Principal Diplomatic Correspondent Sidhant Sibal in Delhi, she said, "The world is silent, why? Are the people of Afghanistan not human, aren't they supposed to be safe? Every 15 years or so, or 20 years, we become a refugee, why Afghans built their homes, only to be destroyed." Anarkali reached India on an IAF plane from Kabul, a week after the Afghan national capital fell to the Taliban. She broke down while giving the interview and said, "Country is the motherland, and in her lap is the love  (Vatan, Desh Maa hai, unki godh mai pyar hai). I hope things will get all right, we will go to our country.".
