The Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh assumed the unusual role of a counsel on Afghanistan to President Barack Obama during his visit to the United States. He also solicited European leaders as the Swedish premier Fredrik Reinfeldt with Sweden leading the European Union presidency. The Indian Prime Minister advocated firm long term commitment with a stark warning of a catastrophe in case of withdrawal in an interview with Newsweek, "A victory for the Taliban in Afghanistan would have catastrophic consequences for the world, particularly for South Asia, for Central Asia, for the Middle East. Religious fundamentalism in the '80s was used to defeat the Soviet Union. If this same group of people that defeated the Soviet Union now defeats the other major power (America), this would embolden them in a manner which could have catastrophic consequences for the world at large."
