Positive development: India on move to return private land to Hindu, Sikh minorities in Afghanistan

Hindustan Times  

India on Friday described as “positive development” the move by the Taliban regime to restore private land rights to Afghan Hindus and Sikh minorities. If the Taliban administration has decided to restore property rights to their citizens belonging to the Afghan Hindu and Sikh community, we see this as a positive development,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. The Taliban regime has reportedly set up a commission to ensure return to owners the rights of private land which were seized by warlords during the tenure of the previous dispensation in Kabul. The latest move by the Taliban dispensation comes weeks after India’s pointsperson on Afghanistan J P Singh met senior members of Afghan authorities in Kabul.
