Congress Lok Sabha MPs — Jasbir Singh Dimpa Gill, Manish Tewari, Gurjit Singh Aujla, Ravneet Singh Bittu, Chaudhary Santokh Singh, and Dr Amar Singh — laid special emphasis on the students held in Kharkiv which is on the Russian border but almost 1600 kms from Poland and Romania border, and that city is the epicenter of conflict between Ukrainian and Russian forces.
The parliamentarians also requested Lekhi that after the death of one student, the anxiety of people has increased.
“Ukrainian police brutality on Indians should be stopped at every cost as these disturbing videos of girls being beaten and abducted had angered every Indian,” they said, while also handing over the list of stranded people and students of Punjab to the MoS.
Aujla said that during their meeting with the Union Minister, they stressed on increasing the evacuation efforts of Indians stranded at Ukraine's inaccessible hotspots. “We have also handed over the list of individuals with whom families lost all communication,” he added.
Congress MPs also assured the delegation that the Government of India is taking every step for the safety, security, and evacuation of all Indians in Ukraine.
Lekhi also assured that Indian Air Force planes have been pressed into service for fast and effective evacuation from Ukraine.
