Will Help Afghan Hindus, Sikhs Come To India, Says Government On Crisis And Other Top Stories

Hindus and Sikhs from Afghanistan will be given priority once commercial flight service begins from Kabul, India said today -- a day after Taliban took control of the city. As panic-stricken Afghans gathered at the airport to skip the war-torn country, India said it would "facilitate repatriation to India of those who wish to leave Afghanistan". Former Congress MP Sushmita Dev quit the party today and joined the Trinamool Congress of Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The Pegasus snooping allegations are based on conjectures and "unsubstantiated media reports" and will be examined by a group of experts to dispel any wrong narrative, the government told the Supreme Court.
