”Appeal to @DrSJaishankar @JM_Scindia to facilitate earliest return of Indian students from Ukraine. Ukraine tickets very expensive. Subsidise or allow 1 time free travel. As an MP and Lawyer I and many others can help GOI for short fall in special cases. Help #Indian#students#Ukraine,” Tankha said in the tweet, in which he tagged Scindia and Jaishankar.
”Sure, will look into it,” Scindia said in his brief reply. Tankha’s plea to the two ministers came hours after the US and NATO leaders said that there is no meaningful pullback of Russian forces from Ukrainian border despite Moscow’s show and claim of drawdown. It also came on the day when India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that India does not have any immediate plan to evacuate its citizens from Ukraine and its focus has been on ensuring their safety rather than on anything ”larger”.
There are said to be more than 20,000 Indian students in Ukraine, most of them studying medicine.
