New Delhi, Mar 2 (IANS): Congress MP Manish Tewari on Wednesday criticised the move of the government where ministers are receiving students at airports who have been evacuated from the war zone of Ukraine.

He termed it as "beyond pathetic"

"Beyond Pathetic. The braggadocio by these NDA/BJP Ministers.For God Sake if you are getting Indians out you are not doing anyone a favour. It is your job God Damn it. Every Indian Govt from First Gulf War-1990 onwards has done pretty much the same in every crisis & even before", he tweeted.

Ministers like Smriti Irani, Jitendra Singh, Mansukh Mandaviya, R.K. Singh, Jyotiraditya Scindia and Piyush Goyal have received students at various airports.

On Wednesday, another flight landed that evacuated stranded Indian citizens from Ukraine.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh received the Indian nationals at the airport. While interacting with the media, he said: "About 220 students arrived via Istanbul. I asked a girl where she is from, like state-wise, but she replied, 'I'm from India'. They still can't believe that they are back in India due to stress. We ensured they spoke with their parents".

Another flight carrying the Indian nationals is also expected to land soon at the airport. Meanwhile, two Indian Air Force aircraft took off for Romania and Hungary from the Hindon airbase this morning to bring back stranded Indians.

According to an estimate, a total of 18,000 students were stranded in the war-torn Ukraine.

However, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said on Tuesday that of them 12,000 have been brought back.

    As many as 31 evacuation flights will be operated to neighbouring countries of crisis-hit Ukraine and will bring back more than 6,300 Indians stranded in the eastern European nation.

    Yes, indeed this is not the first time an evacuation has taken place. When Saddam Hussain invaded Kuwait in the 90's, an evacuation much larger in size than this one was undertaken by the then government headed by V.P. Singh and they never blew their trumpet. Everything went on well but the then government never took credit for that. This government acts as though they are doing a favour. No my friend Modi, this is a job you are expected to do. You have been elected to do this. Just do it and if the people like your job, they will decide your fate. Stop blowing your trumpet.

    If the Ministers had not come to receive the students, then Manish Tewari would have said that the ''arriving students have been treated like dogs with no one ot receive them!''. Typical Congress rant, as they cannot cash in on this opportunity.

    If ministers have to go to Ukraine to evacuate the Indians stranded there, what use is the Indian embassy in Ukraine. Indian government could have closed it as soon as the war started. Once again we are becoming a butt of jokes. No country in the world might have sent their ministers to evacuate their citizens in Ukraine.
