New Delhi: Afghan citizens living in India see the recent Taliban occupation of their country as a big conspiracy. Abdul Fatah, an Afghan national, who is living in India as a refugee for the last four years, said that he had come to India for treatment but stayed back ever since. He believes that the people of Afghanistan will never accept the Taliban rule. He added that life is no longer going to be normal in Afghanistan and things are being forced upon the people. Abdul Fatah added that he can't live a life of his own in his country. People will now have to follow the diktats of Taliban, who have no respect for human rights, he added.

Abdul Fatah has no issues with the Ashraf Ghani regime or the security forces in Afghanistan but believes that there has been a big conspiracy against his country in which several countries may have been involved. He added that countries like Pakistan and Iran can't tolerate a peaceful and stable Afghanistan and that is why they are facing defeat from the Taliban, despite having a powerful army and police forces. Abdul Fatah had come to the Afghanistan Embassy in Delhi today to get an update on the ongoing situation in his home country. He will also visit the US Embassy. Abdul Fatah is one of the many Afghan nationals who are currently facing a similar situation of confusion and are worried about their future.
