Srinagar, August 16: National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah on Monday said the situation in Afghanistan is the legacy of US President Joe Biden's foreign policy. He also said Biden cannot blame his predecessor Donald Trump or anyone else for the "vacuum" created in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of the US troops from the war-ravaged country.
"I don't grudge the US their departure from Afghanistan but this wasn't the way to leave. @JoeBiden this is on you. You can't blame Trump or anyone else for this. As @POTUS you set the final date & created a vacuum. This is your foreign policy legacy, make no mistake," Abdullah wrote on Twitter.
