Kabul: Afghanistan's Ambassador to India Farid Mamundje has said that India's long-term commitment to peaceful, sovereign and stable Afghans remains strong. Ambassador Faridi further said that the Indian Consulate in Kandahar has not yet been closed and work is being carried out through local staff. Faridi tweeted, "Temporary measures to bring diplomats back to India depend on security and security grounds. '

Earlier, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi had also said on Sunday that the decision to bring back Indians posted in Afghanistan is temporary. He had said that India is closely monitoring the growing security situation in Afghanistan. The safety and security of our personnel is paramount. The Consulate General of the country has not been closed in Kandahar. However, Indian personnel have been brought back for the time being due to fierce fighting near Kandahar city.

In recent weeks, there has been increased trouble with the Taliban capturing Afghanistan. The Taliban recently claimed that it had captured more than 85 percent of the South Asian country's territory. India has already stopped its operations at Jalalabad in 2020. Then it was claimed that it was because of the Covid epidemic, but in fact the decision was taken because of the security situation.
