Adityanath further said that despite Taliban rule in Afghanistan, the girl’s respect for India, Indianness and Indian soil are intact within her.

“It is matter of pride for all of us that, removing the hurdles and struggles of the past, the works at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi are going on at a good pace. Along with Ganga jal, this water will also be offered there. This is about the emotions of the country and the world. Given the situation in Afghanistan, not worrying about oneself, a girl from Kabul sends water from a river there to be offered at the Ram Janmabhoomi, I respect those emotions and I will pray to Lord Rama for their happy lives,” Adityanath added.
