Contrary to tall claims of the Indian Government and the ruling BJP, the Kashmiri students studying in the war torn Ukraine who reached home safely, narrated that no help was extended by the Indian Embassy there except, issuing an advisory to leave the country that too very late.

Two girl students from Udhampur, Aheena Rajput and Stuti Kashyap, who were studying in a Medical College at war ravaged Kharkiv city in Ukraine and safely reached home recently said, “We reached home on our personal expenses with no help from Indian Embassy, which only issued an Article to temporary leave the country within three days.”

They further maintained that air fare of Indian Airlines from the capital city Kiev to New Delhi was costlier than other airlines, which forced the students to take flight of Qatar Airways and other airlines to reach home.

The two students are MBBS students of the Medical College B N Karazine in Kharkiv where an Indian student from Karnataka died in shelling on Tuesday.

Both Stuti and Aheena told the media that thousands of students from India and IIOJK were still stranded in Ukraine.

Parul Mahajan, a resident of Sallan Talab area in Udhampur, is one of those still stranded in Ukraine. “On February 19, Indian Embassy in Ukraine issued an Article advising we people to temporary leave the country within three days because of the emerging crisis that led to war,” Stuti said. However, she added, no other help was provided to them while the advisory was also issued too late whereas the other countries had asked their nationals to leave Ukraine more than a week earlier.

On the other hand, the New Delhi and more particularly the ruling Bhartiya Janta Party are claiming that all possible help was being extended by the Indian government through its Embassy in Ukraine to ensure safe return of stranded Indian people in the war ravaged country.

Meanwhile, as per reports, many Kashmiri students have managed to leave Ukraine for Moldova and Romania on their own, apparently without any official support. Three different groups of 49 Kashmiri students have managed to crossover into Moldova and Romania, after being caught up in the middle of air raids and fierce fighting in Kharkiv, Sumy, Kyiv and Odessa cities.—KMS
