Afghanistan's fall to Taliban will strengthen the Sino-Pak nexus against India: Amarinder Singh
Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Sunday warned that the nation should be extra vigil at the borders after Taliban entered Afghanistan capital Kabul and are on the verge of taking control over the country.
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."
