In an Instagram post, Aryana told Biden that the U.S must stop funding Pakistan, and impose sanctions on the country, as they produce terrorists and send them to Afghanistan in the name of Al-Qaeda and Taliban. Aryana shared a series of photos of Afghan citizens and said the displaced have nowhere to go and are left with no food or shelter.

In her earlier Instagram post on August 19, she shared a photo of herself on the flight and told fans that she had reached Doha, was safe and sound, and was waiting for her flight to Istanbul.
