The Minister also pointed out that even before the world realized, India has been speaking against the active support of Pakistan to the terror groups.

“There is growing realisation for what India has been voicing for long, with regard to active support of Pakistan to violent radical & terror groups,” says Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

He also praised the students who turned challenges into opportunities, despite Covid-19.

“Despite the pandemic, students turned challenges into opportunities… NDC plays a key role in fostering understanding of strategic affairs… we can facilitate your quest for gaining wisdom,” he added.

The Taliban seized power in Afghanistan on August 15, two weeks before the US was set to complete its troop withdrawal after a costly two-decade war.

In a US-India Joint Leaders’ Statement issued after the first in-person bilateral meeting between US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House on Friday, the two leaders underscored the importance of combating terrorism in Afghanistan.
