Yasmin Nigar Khan, granddaughter of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan and All India Pakhtoon Jirga-e-Hind president, in Kolkata, on the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.

"Afghans who live here are worried about their families in Afghanistan. Situation in last 1-2 days has been a matter of concern. Taliban took over without a fight.

"The leaders left the country but the common people, the poor, the women, the children are making sacrifices. They should be looked after.

"Taliban can't be trusted. They might say something now and do something else the next day. We can just appeal to PM Modi and rest of the world that the manner in which they cared for Syria, Palestine and other war-torn countries, they should look at Afghanistan too."
