Narendra Singh Khalsa:We can't say anything. In the last few days,we went outside just once.
We stayed in the houses of our friends butcan't say anythingsince the situation is badand the people are scared. At the gates of the airport,people want to leave the countryand many people are standing outside the airport.
Taliban has come in the past too, they were fine for the first few days, few months and then they indulged in activities that no one liked. Everyone is saying there is nothing to worrybut we can't say anything.
