After the Taliban takes over Afghanistan, Aryana Sayeed escaped. Aryana Sayeed is a well known and famous Pop Star in Afghanistan. She sang at a stadium in 2015, breaking the taboos like singing as a woman, not wearing Hijab and entering a stadium as a woman. She had left the country after the Taliban took over the country. In her latest interview, she slams Pakistan and shows gratitude towards India amid the crises in her native ‘Afghanistan’.

“I do blame Pakistan. Over the years, we have seen videos, seen evidences that Pakistan is behind empowering the Taliban. Every time our government touches the Taliban, they see identification and it would be a Pakistani person, so it’s very obvious that I blame them and hope that they back off and don’t interfere in politics in Afghanistan anymore,” said Afghanistan’s pop star Aryana Sayeed in an exclusive interview from an undisclosed location.

Sayeed blamed Pakistan for the ongoing crises in Afghanistan. She says, “They are being instructed by Pakistan, their bases are in Pakistan where they got their training. I hope the international community, first of all, cut off their funds and don’t offer funds to Pakistan for funding the Taliban.” Meanwhile, she lauded the Indian government’s efforts in Afghanistan and termed India as ‘true friend’. “India has always been good to us. They have been a true friend, they’ve been very helpful and kind to our people, even refugees. Afghans who have been in India before have always spoken highly of the nation, its people. We are grateful to India,” She added.

She continued and said, “On behalf of Afghanistan, I want to express my utmost gratitude to India and I want to say thank you. Over the years we’ve realized that the only good friend in the neighbourhood we have is, India.” Moreover, “I hope they can put pressure on Pakistan. I believe that we’re dealing with all these issues in Afghanistan because of Pakistan,” she also urged the international community to develop a safe & peaceful environment in Afghanistan.
