Amid Praises for Robust Evacuation Drive in Ukraine, This Girl from Pakistan Thanks India. Here’s Why

ven as several countries have been unable to undertake rigorous evacuation drive in Ukraine, with some even expressing inability to help their citizens, India is being praised for its robust programme in war-torn region with ministers flying out to ensure Indians get home safely. Not only has India ensured safety for its citizens but is also helping its neighbours. In a new video, a student from Pakistan is seen thanking the Indian embassy in Kyiv and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Pakistan’s Asma Shafique thanked India after she was rescued by the authorities. She is now en route to western Ukraine for further evacuation out of the country. She will be reunited with her family soon, new agency ANI quoted sources as saying.

Government sources had earlier shared response of various countries to rebut criticism by some opposition parties over the alleged delay in India’s response to evacuate its citizens, mostly students, with some videos surfacing of Indian citizens facing harassment. The sources asserted that India has been prompt and relentless in helping its citizens.
