    Bas Behanji Bas..!!!
    The Sunni group said to the Indians to call our military to take them safely back to India. They do not want to see the expat Indians may loose their life because of their internal war.

    Please send the Military rescue flight to their to rescue them. I know that tomorrow you will say " I personally went to iraq and spoke to the sunni group and brought our Indians back.
