New Delhi: Following an all-party meet convened by the Central government, on Thursday to brief about the prevailing situation in Afghanistan, the Congress party said its "satisfaction" from the meet will be decided after the suggestions given to the Centre will be implemented.
Speaking to ETV Bharat, Congress' Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said, "The issue we discussed is of national importance. We all are concerned but let us see how the government is going to act. When they implement these suggestions, then only we can say that they are doing any work."
"At present, they are bringing people but they can't even give exact figures. Every political party expressed its concerns and they responded to that," he further informed.

In today's meeting, the Centre informed that around 15,000 people have contacted the Government seeking assistance in fleeing from Afghanistan.
He also said, "I can't tell in one word, whether we are satisfied or not. We raised our concerns, they listened to us but we have to see if it is properly implemented."
After the meeting, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar speaking to the media said, "The message which we all political parties including the government wants to give is that on this issue we all are on the same page. The friendship with Afghan people matters to us."
Leaders of several political parties attended the meeting, which comes at a time when India is evacuating its citizens from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. PM Narendra Modi had asked the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to brief floor leaders of all political parties on the recent developments in Afghanistan.
