Govt must share its strategy on evacuation in Ukraine: Rahul

New Delhi (India): Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said the Government must tell how many students have been evacuated and how many are still stranded in Ukraine, and demanded that it must also spell out its clear strategy to the families of those involved.

The Congress has been questioning the delay in evacuation of all Indians from war-struck Ukraine after Russia attacked it and criticised its response.

"To avert further tragedy, the Government of India (GOI) must share: How many students have been evacuated. How many are still stranded in Ukraine. Region-wise detailed evacuation plan," Gandhi said on Twitter.

"We owe a clear strategy and communication to the families involved," he said.

To avert further tragedy, GOI must share:

1. How many students have been evacuated.
2. How many are still stranded in Ukraine.
3. Region-wise detailed evacuation plan.

We owe a clear strategy & communication to the families involved.

The Government has sent four union ministers to coordinate efforts to bring out Indians from countries neighbouring Ukraine and has deployed Indian Air Force aircraft besides several airlines.

Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said on Tuesday that around 2,000 Indians have returned to their homeland, while 4,000 to 5,000 are getting ready to be brought back by flights. (PTI)
