Kochi, Apr 17 (IANS): The Centre on Friday informed the Kerala High Court that it will not be feasible at present to bring back Kerala diaspora holed up in the UAE.

The Dubai branch of Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC) last week sought the court's help to evacuate thousands of people held up in Dubai, as they are unable to return home due to the nationwide lockdown and suspension of international flights.

The court had posted the case for April 17 and asked the Centre to file a status report.

The Centre said it would be unable to make any exemption for one state and has by now asked all Indian Embassies to ensure that Indian citizens in their respective host countries should be taken care of.

The state government informed the court that they have made all arrangements to take care of all the diaspora once they return.

Incidentally, the Supreme Court had on Monday turned down numerous petitions that demande evacuation of Indians from the Middle East.

    Early on Sunday, the second Air India flight landed in New Delhi with more than 300 evacuees on board

    Indian foreign minister S Jaishankar had on Twitter said “7 Maldivians brought back with 323 Indians from Wuhan on the second @airindiain flight today. #NeighbourhoodFirst at work again. @ibusolih @MohamedNasheed @abdulla_shahid".

    His minister also offered to airlift Pakitani student who stranded in Wuhan.

    If humanity can be extended to the citizens of neighbouring countries, why would center's BJP government don't think air lifting its own citizens without food and money?
