The forces of Ukraine are indulged in an intense fight with Russia. Hundreds of Indian students from Punjab are stuck in Ukraine. These students are waiting cluelessly to be rescued from the war-torn country. India has launched Operation Ganga to evacuate stranded students.
Students who are returning back to India are sharing their experiences. On Saturday, a video went viral on social media in which a girl can be seen saying that they were asked to clean toilets by Indian Embassy. Students, who agree to do so, were allowed to board the flights.
Another student shared that when they were in Ukraine, food was rarely provided to them. Five people used to eat their only meal of the day on a single plate. They spent their day and night in subways, metro stations, and underground shelters. After returning back to India, Mudit, a student from Punjab, shared, “To the government, you are just a number no matter what happens to you.. Beware of fake news everywhere right now.. Ukraine “evacuation” is the biggest lie.”
In True Scoop’s Exclusive talk with families hailing from Punjab, the real picture came to light.
Yogesh Kumar’s relative, shared, “he is stuck in Kharkiv and embassies are not responding from Ukraine, but DC office calls daily. We wonder what kind of paperwork they are doing, our child can’t come himself until they will go and instead arrange something for them.”
“They are 1600 Kms away from homes; people are not letting Indian students board the trains. Indian students were getting badly treated in Ukraine.” On being asked, “Is the Government asking for any charges to bring them back?” they said, “No, they are bringing them back free of cost, till now, no charges are being asked by them,” said Yogesh’s relative.
