Modi Govt is unable to extract 20,000 Indians stranded in #Ukraine amidst claims that Modi is a world leader.
In comparison, 250,000 Indians were extracted safely during Gulf war in 1990.
Then external affairs minister IK Gujral & bureaucrat IP Khosla went to Baghdad personally
They met Saddam Hussain and sought permission to fly Indians stuck in war zone out.
Right now Modi Govt can’t send 50 flights but in 1990, more than 500 flights flew between Amman and India. No one had to pay double/triple ticket fare on top.
The Govt at the time didn’t shut
Embassy down like in Ukraine today. They remained open and helped these many people arranging more than 80 buses daily to ferry them to Basra, Baghdad, Amman covering 2000 kms to reach airport.
With the help of MEA and Air India employees, 250,000 Indians were rescued.
But the difference is the then Govt didn’t publicise the modern world’s largest rescue operation in a war crisis nor did they seek votes in its name.
All those idiots justifying Modi Govt’s inaction maligning students quoting advisories and what not, should read history first 😐
