“We strongly condemn the abduction of Nedan Singh, a leader of the Hindu and Sikh Community of Afghanistan, by terrorists,” he said in response to a media query on the abduction of the community leader in Paktia.

Srivastava said India is in touch with the Afghanistan government for ensuring the safety, security and well being of the minority community in that country.
