Meanwhile, AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has given a big statement regarding India’s relations with Taliban.

He said, ‘I had said in Parliament in 2016 that Taliban will return to power, hence talks with them are necessary. Today they have a government and their foreign minister is in India, while Pakistan is bombing them. Do you see how this is going? We should maintain full diplomatic relations with Kabul.

Deteriorating relations between Taliban and Pakistan

This shows that there are no permanent friends or enemies in international politics. India should take advantage of this situation and strengthen its presence in Kabul.
