Just a few hours after Mamundzay, who has been dwelling principally within the United Kingdom after the change of regime in Kabul, posted the assertion on X, the heads of the 2 consulates of Afghanistan in Mumbai and Hyderabad, Zakia Wardak and Sayed Mohammad Ibrahimkhil, issued a joint assertion, claiming that that they had taken management of the embassy in New Delhi. Like Mamundzay, Wardak and Ibrahimkhil had additionally been appointed by the erstwhile Afghan authorities led by Ashraf Ghani. But Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Taliban’s Government in Kabul, Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai not too long ago mentioned that he was in contact with the 2 consular officers, who had taken over the management of the embassy in New Delhi.
