After the Taliban captured the Afghan capital of Kabul, Pakistan’s Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari took to Twitter and mocked the United States by saying that the US is getting out of Kabul just as it did from Saigon on 29 April 1975.
In her tweet, the so-called human rights activist who has done nothing when Hindu, Sikh, and Christain girls are raped and converted to Islam said, “Saigon, Vietnam and Kabul, Afghanistan,”.

The Mazari took a potshot at President Ashraf Ghani and Vice President Amrullah Saleh and accused them of abandoning the Afghan people.
Mazari said, “Truly tragic to see the long-suffering Afghan people abandoned by President Ghani & others like Amrullah Saleh – both scuttle into hiding. Doesn’t really matter where they have disappeared or bolted to – what’s important is ldrshp abandoned their ppl in midst of crisis. Shameful!,”.
