New Delhi: Indian photojournalist Danish Siddiqui was killed while covering the ongoing war between Taliban militants and security forces in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Joe Biden's administration and U.S. lawmakers have expressed grief over Siddiqui's death. According to the agency, Siddiqui was awarded the Pulitzer Award in 2018. He worked for the news agency Reuters. Siddiqui was shot dead by Taliban militants. He was with Afghan security forces at the time of the incident.
We are deeply saddened to hear that Reuters journalist Danish Siddiqui died covering the war in Afghanistan, US State Ministry spokesman Jalina Porter said. "Siddiqui was known for his work, especially in the most important and challenging newspapers around the world," he said, putting the emotions and human faces behind his photograph headlines in public. The Pulitzer Award for Rohingya Crisis Coverage was received.
Porter further said that Siddiqui's death is not only a big loss for Reuters and his allies, but it is a big loss for the whole world. Many journalists have been killed in Afghanistan so far. We continue to appeal to stop the violence. The only way forward in Afghanistan is to have a just and sustainable peace agreement.
