External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said the Taliban did not live up to its promise it committed in Doha while contending that the situation in Afghanistan was "not good".

Briefing the floor leaders of all political parties in the Parliament complex, Jaishankar said India was trying to evacuate as many people as possible.

India has evacuated over 800 people from Afghanistan since August 15. Most of these are Indian nationals and members of the Afghan Sikh and Hindu communities.

In February 2020, the US and the Taliban signed an agreement in Doha to "bring peace" to Afghanistan after more than 18 years of conflict. The US and Nato allies had agreed to withdraw all troops within 14 months if the militants uphold the deal.

The key focus of the government's briefing was on the evacuation mission and safety of Indian citizens in various towns of the war-torn country.

The meeting was attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha Piyush Goyal, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi, Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Ministers of State of External Affairs V Muraleedharan and Meenakashi Lekhi.

The Doha agreement was signed by US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and Taliban political chief Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.

The agreement said within the first 135 days of the deal, the US would reduce its forces in Afghanistan to 8,600, with allies also drawing down their forces proportionately.

The deal also included a prisoner swap. Some 5,000 Taliban prisoners and 1,000 Afghan security force prisoners would be exchanged.

The US would also lift sanctions against the Taliban and work with the United Nations to lift its separate sanctions against the group.

Under the agreement, the Taliban also agreed not to allow al-Qaeda or any other extremist group to operate in the areas they control.
