In Afghanistan today, Talibani terrorists brutally killed an Indian journalist Danish Siddiqui. Danish Siddiqui was a photo-journalist and since 2010, he was working for the international news agency Reuters. Recently, when photographs of burning bodies of corona patients in India were published in Western media newspapers, many of them were taken by Danish Siddiqui. That is why today in India, many people trolled him on social media and a section also rejoiced over his murder. But we feel that it is not right to do so. Danish Siddiqui was only fulfilling his duty as a journalist and he has lost his life while doing his job, so today is not the day to troll him, it is a day to pay tribute.

Danish Siddiqui was doing media coverage of the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan for the last one week and was accompanied by a contingent of security forces there. The Afghan army has told that when the troops were trying to retake a large area of ​​Spin Boldak city of Kandahar, it had an encounter with the Taliban and in this encounter, Danish Siddiqui and some soldiers from Afghanistan were killed.

Spin Boldak of Kandahar is the same city that also borders Pakistan and you will remember, on 14th July we told you in DNA that the Taliban have captured here and have also raised their flags on the Pakistan border.

Danish Siddiqui was quite active on his Twitter handle since his arrival in Afghanistan and also shared a video of the Taliban attack on him on July 13. Then he told that he narrowly survived the attack, but three days later he was killed by the Taliban.

The Indian government has now taken the matter to the United Nations Security Council.

Pakistan has a lot of influence in the city of Kandahar where this journalist was killed. Recently, an Afghan leader said that he has received a threat from Islamabad that if his army tries to take the city of Spin Boldak under its control, the Pakistani army will conduct an airstrike on the Afghan army in this area. That is, if the Taliban has come again in this area today, then one of the reasons for this is Pakistan. And it can also be held responsible for the murder of Danish Siddiqui.

Today Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani has also expressed grief over the killing of Danish Siddiqui and he has also said that 10 thousand jihadi fighters have entered Afghanistan from Pakistan's side, who want to take control of Kabul at any cost. You can say that currently, Afghanistan is fighting both Taliban and Pakistan together, and this is not good news for India.

Danish Siddiqui's career in the world of journalism was 12 years long. And in the year 2018, he was also awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar. Apart from this, Danish Siddiqui had also covered the riots in Delhi last year. During the protest near Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia University, he had also taken a picture of the attacker who opened fire. This picture was covered in many newspapers of Western media. But today, the Taliban killed him.

Today this news is also a sign that the regime of Ashraf Ghani government in Afghanistan has started to falter and the Taliban is going to make a comeback after 2001. But the big thing is that the western countries are watching all this happening quietly and 30 countries of NATO i.e. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization have also started withdrawing their army from Afghanistan. Of these, 27 countries are from Europe only. There were about seven and a half thousand Afghan soldiers in NATO.

Although these countries give lectures on human rights but are sitting silently on the brutality of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The Taliban's rule in Afghanistan has not even come yet and it has already started issuing jihadi decrees. In its new decree, the Taliban has asked for a list of girls above 15 years and widowed women below 45 years, so that they can be handed over to Taliban terrorists and they can harass and rape these women in the name of marriage. All this is happening in Afghanistan because America, which claims itself to be the champion of democracy, and the countries of NATO are withdrawing their army from there. Therefore, consider this news today as a mirror, because in this mirror you will clearly see the real character of these western countries.
