Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said on Friday that Pakistan has “supported and nurtured the Taliban”, adding that India and the United States are closely watching its actions in Afghanistan. “The US is watching the situation very closely.

They will obviously see how different players get engaged in the situation in Afghanistan. Pakistan is a neighbour of Afghanistan. They have supported and nurtured the Taliban. There are various elements that are Pakistan supported– so its role has to be seen in that context,” Shringla said during media interaction in Washington DC at the end of his three-day official visit. The foreign secretary further said that in the limited engagement that India has had with the Taliban, the new Afghan rulers have indicated that they would be reasonable in addressing New Delhi’s concerns.
