If Taliban Moves Towards India, Airstrike Is Ready: UP CM Yogi

Mumbai: Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said the Taliban knows if it moves towards India, an airstrike is ready.

Addressing a social representative conference in Lucknow, Adityanath said Pakistan and Afghanistan were feeling “troubled” by the Taliban.

The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, no country can dare to raise its eyes towards India.

“Today the country is powerful under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, and no country can dare to look towards India. Today Pakistan and Afghanistan are feeling troubled because of the Taliban. But the Taliban knows whether it will go ahead or not. India, an airstrike is ready,” he said.

Two weeks before the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in August this year, the US completed the withdrawal of its forces from a two-decade-old war theatre.

Last month, the chief minister had said that supporting the Taliban means supporting anti-India, anti-humanitarian, anti-women and anti-child acts.

Slamming sympathisers of the extremist group, Adityanath said that there are some elements who do not like India’s development.

“Supporting the Taliban means supporting anti-India, anti-humanity, anti-women and anti-children acts. You would be knowing the kind of atrocities and acts that are being committed today and there are some shameless people who keep supporting the group. This cannot be accepted. We have to be cautious of such people who support the wrong acts of Taliban,” he said, PTI reported.
