Many Indians, including students, arrived at New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on Wednesday, 2 March, after being evacuated from war-torn Ukraine in repatriation flights as part of Operation Ganga.
As Indian nationals arrived safely, several Union ministers greeted the students at the airport with cries of ‘Vande Mataram!’ and ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai!’. However, around 120 students rushed to their hometown soon after reaching the airport and missed getting clicked with the union ministers.
These 120 students were called back to the airport to get clicked with the union ministers. Reportedly it was done only to have a proof that students were indeed evacuated. Government is not keeping any loopholes for opposition to blame the govt later when any students goes missing.
A student traveling back to the airport told The Fauxy “I have become a celebrity overnight just because I was in Ukraine. Now even top ministers want to get clicked with me“.
