The protesters continued their revolts until late afternoon which was formulated by the Afghan Solidarity Committee. The people came from Lajpat Nagar, Delhi, Bhogal, Noida, Greater Noida, Faridabad.
The supporters wore a blue armband to regulate their request while women and children sang Afghan songs. Most of the individuals who were said to be protesting came to India 10 years and still hadn’t received the entitlement of refugees due to some complex official structure.

India isn’t a signatory to the UN Refugee Convention of 1951 and its 1967 Protocol. Starting in 2019, Afghans represented about 33% of the almost 40,000 evacuees enrolled in India, as indicated by the UN refugee organization however this figure avoids those not enlisted with the UN.

Calls for formal acknowledgement as outcasts in India have strengthened as of late, as expectations for a get back held by a huge number of Afghan evacuees were run by the Taliban’s incredibly quick takeover of the country. Many Afghans dread the Taliban will eradicate the additions, particularly for ladies, accomplished in a long time since the US-drove attack in 2001.

At the point when the aggressor bunch ran the country in the last part of the 1990s, they forced a brutal understanding of Islamic law, driving a sequestered life for some, especially ladies and young ladies who were illegal from schooling and most employment.

The Taliban currently try to introduce themselves as a more moderate power, offering absolution to the individuals who battled them and proclaiming the privileges of ladies would be respected under Islamic law however for some nonconformists, the greatest dread stayed the fate of ladies and children.
