Indian Discussion Forum

In the backdrop of the latest terror attack targeting Indians, National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon today met Afghan President Hamid Karzai and discussed the issue of security of about 4,000 Indians here for which he carried certain proposals.

Menon, who arrived here this morning on a two-day visit, held detailed deliberations with Karzai on various aspects related to safety of the Indians who are engaged in various developmental and reconstruction projects across Afghanistan.

Menon also met his Afghan counterpart Rangin Dadfar Spanta and enquired about the progress in investigations into the February 26 Kabul attack in which Indians were specifically targeted.

Seven Indians, including three major-rank officers of the Army, were killed in the attack that targeted guest houses frequented by Indians.

Concerned about the safety of its nationals in Afghanistan after the latest attack, Indian government has evolved certain proposals for their security.
