India Provides Aid To Afghans Expelled From Pakistan, Says Taliban

The Taliban’s Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation has announced that the Government of India has provided humanitarian assistance to thousands of Afghan families expelled from Pakistan.

In an official statement, the ministry expressed its gratitude for New Delhi’s support, noting that food supplies had been distributed to some 5000 needy households.

According to the ministry, the consignment comprised eleven distinct food items, which were allocated by the Kabul office of the Directorate of Refugees to deserving recipients.

Abdul Kabir, the Taliban-appointed Minister for Refugees and Repatriation, publicly thanked both the Government and the people of India for their generosity. He also appealed to other nations and charitable organisations to extend further aid to displaced Afghans.

Since early April, Pakistan has deported hundreds of thousands of Afghan migrants. Islamabad has previously accused these individuals of involvement in acts of unrest within Pakistan and alleged that the Taliban had received support from India in connection with recent security incidents; claims to which the Taliban have not yet responded.
