Afghanistan's fall to Taliban will strengthen the Sino-Pak nexus against India: Amarinder Singh

Singh also warned that the episode will strengthen Sino-Pak nexus against India.

He tweeted, "Afghanistan’s fall to #Taliban doesn’t augur well for our country. It’ll strengthen the Sino-Pak nexus against India (China has already sought militia’s help on Uyghur). The signs are not at all good, we need to be extra vigilant now at all our borders."

Meanwhile, in the wake of the rapidly developing situation in Afghanistan, Director General, Border Security Force, S S Deswal on Sunday said that the situation is being closely monitored.

"What is happening in the neighbouring country is their internal matter but we are keeping a close watch on every situation," the DG BSF said in a reply to UNI during a press conference here when asked that what impact does he see on India's borders after Taliban captured Kabul invariably capturing Afghanistan.

"We are ready for every possible consequences," he said, after flagging off the Freedom Run and Cyclothon from Octroi Border Outpost on the occasion of independence day celebrations.

On the prevailing drone threats along the international border he said, "many attempts were made to airdrop and smuggle narcotics and weapons but the alert security force foiled the enemy's nefarious designs."

"Drone threat is a challenge and we are handling it. In the coming days, technologically we will be dealing it more efficiently," he said.

Earlier the DG BSF flagged off a contingent of 100 cyclists from the BSF, which was organised on the occasion of 75th Independence Day celebration.
