Around 60 counties have issued a joint statement urging the Taliban to allow safe passage to their citizens.

The swift takeover of Kabul, the Afghanistan capital, by the Taliban has left the world startled. Distressing visuals of men, women and children trying to flee their homes have surfaced on social media and the world prays for the country to remain in peace. And just as the world reacts in horror, India’s film industry has also been offering prayers for the country’s citizens.

Lyricist Javed Akhtar, actress Shabana Azmi and actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar have also voiced their concerns on Twitter.

Javed Akhtar wrote, “What kind of superpower US is who couldn’t eradicate these barbarians called Taliban. What kind of world this world is that has left Afghan women to the lack of mercy of these fanatics. Shame on all these Western countries who claim to be the saviours of human rights. (sic)”

Hife wife and renowned actress Shabana Azmi wrote, “History teaches us that fanatics first attack culture under the guise of religion. Remember that #Taliban destroyed the 6th century Bamiyan statues. It was a sign that human cruelty would follow.”
