After assault of Afghan students in Gujarat University, Indian diplomats meet Afghan counterparts in Delhi

Months after the Embassy of Afghanistan in New Delhi was shut down due to an apparent lack of coordination and desertion of officials belonging to the pre-Taliban government in Kabul, a senior Indian diplomat on March 23 visited the mission and met with Afghan officials who have apparently been working there.

The information was shared by Zakia Wardak, consul general of Afghanistan in the Afghan consulate in Mumbai, on her social media handle at X (formerly Twitter) which showed J.P. Singh, in charge of Pakistan-Afghanistan-Iran (PAI) division in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), in company of the Afghan officials that included Ms. Wardak.

Significantly, the meeting came just a day after Ms. Wardak visited Gujarat University to meet with Afghan students who were assaulted by local miscreants who had objected to their offering Islamic prayers during the holy month of Ramzan.
