The Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi slammed the blame-game over the evacuation of stranded students in Ukraine. Union minister V Muraleedharan said many students did not want to leave Ukraine as universities refused to conduct online classes. “Allegations that we were late to initiate evacuation of our students are not right,” he said.
The opposition has been questioning the government over the evacuation process after a medical student was killed in shelling by Russian troops.
The Centre has embarked on Operation Ganga to bring back every Indian stranded in Ukraine. The government has also approached Moscow for a safe passage of Indians out of the war-torn areas. India’s evacuation plan was challenged after Ukraine shut its airspace following which the ministry of external affairs came up with alternative land routes via Ukraine’s neighbouring countries.
