Taliban cannot change overnight, Indians in Afghanistan must be evacuated, says Swami Ramdev

HARIDWAR: In view of the ongoing political turmoil in Afghanistan, Yoga guru Swami Ramdev has said that Indians stranded in the war-torn country must be evacuated at the earliest. He added that while the Talibs claim to be a ‘changed’ force, the threat from them is real. “They have perpetrated cruelty on people and behaved barbarously with them in the past... We must remember that their character cannot change overnight,” he added.

Meanwhile, Ramdev appreciated Centre’s ‘sincere’ efforts to help Indians in Afghanistan and appealed to keep a constant vigil on the situation developing there. “Extend them all possible help and step up efforts to expeditiously bring them back to India,” he added.

He further said, “The Taliban have fully captured Afghanistan. If they expect support from the world, they should act as a responsible government and be humane, shunning the path of violence.”
