'Operation Ganga' is being run by the government of india to rescue indian citizens trapped in Ukraine. But, the video of the reactions of indian students returning from there in the midst of the Russo-Ukraine war is being used in different ways on social media.
The Russo-Ukraine war continues for the ninth day. Many cities of ukraine are being attacked by russia with bombings and missiles. In view of the threat of war, the government of india is running 'Operation Ganga' to rescue indian citizens trapped in Ukraine. prime minister Narendra Modi is trying to evacuate indian citizens through talks with his counterparts in russia and Ukraine.
The air Force has also been added to the relief work. On the previous day, the Ministry of External Affairs informed the members of the Consultative Committee on ukraine Crisis (former congress President rahul gandhi was also included) about all the aspects related to Operation Ganga. From congress MP shashi tharoor to shiv sena MP priyanka Chaturvedi praised the efforts of the government of India. But, on the contrary, rahul gandhi tweeted a video clip and wrote that 'Evacuation is a duty, not a favour'.
At the same time, prime minister Narendra Modi also interacted with the students who returned to india under Operation ganga in varanasi on the previous day. Who told the efforts of the government better. There is no doubt that this conversation with the people who have returned from ukraine is part of propaganda.
But, the important question is what is the truth of those videos floating on social media, in which some students are praising the efforts of the government. And, some students are questioning the efforts of the government of india regarding Operation Ganga.
Whereas, the government of india has sent four ministers as 'special envoys' to the neighboring countries of ukraine to coordinate the evacuation process. A good number of students are also returning every day. And, it is being said continuously by the government of india that 'Have faith'.
Is the anger of indian students justified?
The indian Embassy in ukraine had issued an advisory on 15 february before the start of the Russo-Ukraine war. But, this advisory was very balanced. Simply put, there was a difference between the language of this advisory and the language of the recent release of Kharkiv city of Ukraine. In the advisory issued to leave Kharkiv, it was clearly said that 'leave the city under any circumstances'.
At the same time, in the advisory issued on february 15, it was said that 'students who do not need to stay, they can return temporarily.' It is clear that the students did not see any serious situation in the beginning before the war broke out. And, they stayed there.
By the way, in india, usually the real problem on such matters starts when politics takes entry in it. So, that's what happened. The indian government had started efforts to rescue the people trapped in Ukraine.
But, from there, when videos of indian students being stranded in large numbers started coming out, the government of india decided to run 'Operation Ganga'. Opposition parties including congress took a dig at the government of india for this. Well, it is clear that indian students who are stuck in bad situations, it can be considered natural for them to be angry.
The way students are not being allowed to board the train in Ukraine. They are being mistreated by the soldiers on the border. So, the anger of the students will come out in such situations in Ukraine.
So, whom to trust?
But, in the midst of all this, people with agenda are also active on social media. Some of which are making videos of the government's side viral. So, some of those who took a dig at the indian government.
People are finding it difficult to understand who to trust. Because, the student whose video was tweeted by rahul gandhi, she is the daughter of a congress leader from Uttarakhand. Which has been confirmed by that congress leader himself.
At the same time, some videos are like this. In which the students who were first cursing the government of india and the indian Embassy can later be seen praising the same. Dozens of such videos are becoming viral on social media.
In the midst of all this, social media was full of such videos and pictures. Which people are sharing with different claims. In simple words, in order to put the government in the dock, people are sharing old pictures without any thought.
Without realizing that this can spread panic among people. Simply put, the kind of reactions that are expected in a war situation, they are not easily found in Indian. The media reporting during the Kargil war and the mumbai attack is a living example of this.
Certainly the situation in war-torn ukraine is uncontrollable. Because, ukraine has put its citizens in the war to win over Russia. Simply put, the President of ukraine has made up his mind to cross all limits to win the war. For this, incidents like misbehavior with indian students are also happening.
However, the process of evacuation has accelerated due to the arrival of ministers of the government of india present in the neighboring countries of Ukraine. And, it can be assumed that the process of Evacuation will be completed in a few days.
At the time of the 1990 gulf war, it took about 3 months to evacuate about 1 lakh 70 thousand people present there. Because, the situation in ukraine is different from countries like iraq and Libya, so the indian government is sure to take time in the evacuation of each and every citizen.
