The Indian Embassy in Kabul has urged all Indians in Afghanistan to make arrangements to leave immediately before commercial flights are halted amid escalating conflict. Taliban fighters have reached the outskirts of Mazar-e-Sharif.

The safety of our personnel is of paramount importance. The Indian Consulate in Kandahar is not closed.

"The consulate will continue to function through local staff. Afghanistan is our valued partner and India is committed to its sovereignty, peace, and democracy.

Brahmins and Dalits should unite: BSP

Bahujan Samaj Party General Secretary Satish Chandra Mishra, while addressing a Brahmin-Dalit meeting in Ghaziabad and Meerut on Tuesday, said that the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Samajwadi Party are two sides of the same coin. Including many newspapers have given prominent place today.

 

Satish Chandra Mishra, who came to power in 2007 based on the votes of Brahmins and Dalits and considered the master of this strategy, said that both Dalits and Brahmins are on target in the BJP rule.

 

Satish Chandra Mishra said that there are many examples of this and Vikas Dubey's minor niece Khushi Dubey is one of them. Mishra said that the rule of the Samajwadi Party was no different. Brahmin leaders were humiliated during the reign of Mulayam Singh Yadav.

 

Mishra said, "In Uttar Pradesh, Brahmins are 16 percent and Dalits are 23 percent. If both of them come together, then BSP will easily get 30 percent votes. We will also get help from OBCs and minorities." Mishra also reminded Mayawati's slogan to unite Brahmins-Dalits, which said - Hathi Nahi Ganesh hai, Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh hai.
