Videos and photos emerging from Afghanistan show the country slipping into chaos after the Taliban captured power within weeks of its onslaught as President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.

A new video has emerged which shows an amusement park in Afghanistan set ablaze by Taliban. In the latest video doing the rounds on social media, an entire amusement park is seen burning with massive flames covering the area at night. A Twitter user said that the reason cited by the Taliban for burning down the amusement park is that there are statues and idols inside the park, which are against Islamic practices.

Meanwhile, a group of women reportedly held public protest and demanded equal rights on the streets of Kabul as Taliban fighters looked on. The women placards demanding their rights, including social security, right to work, right to education and right to political participation while they are being surrounded by the Taliban fighters.

Video: PM Modi hugs, touches feet of 98-year-old BJP veteran in Bengal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hugged and honoured 98-year-old Makhanlal Sarkar, one of the earliest and senior most members of the BJP. The scene unfolded on the stage ahead of Suvendu Adhikari's swearing-in as West Bengal's Chief Minister in Kolkata. PM Modi also touched Sarkar's feet and presented a shawl to him as a mark of respect. In 1952, Sarkar was arrested in Kashmir while he was accompanying Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee as the latter was marching to hoist the tricolour there. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya described the elderly party leader as "one of the earliest grassroots figures associated with the nationalist movement in post-Independence India."
