It's zero now," he said when a reporter asked him about how he feels after being forced to leave his country.The Sikh parliamentarian was among the 168 evacuees, including 23 Afghan Sikhs and Hindus onboard IAF's C-17 Globemaster aircraft that took off from Kabul airport earlier today.The Afghanistan MP further said that at least 200 Hindu Sikhs are stranded in the war-torn country."The situation is worrisome.

He expressed extreme gratitude to the government for safely evacuating him and others to India amid a situation of crisis.An Afghan woman who was among the evacuees said that situation was worrisome in her country."Situation was deteriorating in Afghanistan, so I came here with my daughter and two grandchildren. Our Indian brothers and sisters came to our rescue. They (Taliban) burnt down my house. I thank India for helping us," she said.Several others also thanked the Indian government for conducting timely evacuation of people.There was visible joy and relief on the faces of people who arrived from Afghanistan.Among the evacuees were several children and an infant too.
