BJP’s Amit Malviya attacked Rahul Gandhi on the front of the evacuation of Indians stranded in Ukraine, saying that his father went on leave during the 1971 war with Pakistan. No country has undertaken evacuation in Ukraine on the scale India has. Yet, Rahul Gandhi is questioning us on securing Indians, he tweeted. In 1977, when Indira Gandhi lost power, her family hid in the Italian Embassy, he said.
Rahul Gandhi has asked the government to disclose how many students have been evacuated and how many are still stranded in Ukraine, and demanded that the Centre should out its “clear strategy” to their families. This claim is not new and it surfaces from time to time on social media and WhatsApp. However, many historians claimed Rajiv Gandhi had no role to play in the 1971 war.
