Once again exposing Pakistan's nature, how the Imran Khan-led government doesn't care about their citizens, Pakistani nationals stuck in Ukraine have slammed their government for not making any efforts to evacuate them from the war-torn country.
Various videos of the Pakistani students who are seeking the Pakistan government's help for evacuation have gone viral on social media.
While expressing disappointment towards the Imran Khan-led government, some students, while speaking to Pakistani news channel ARY News, said, "Modi government is evacuating Indian students stuck in Ukraine however, Pakistan is not doing anything as of now."
"There is a lot of bombing and military operations going on here and that’s why we want the Pakistani government to provide us security and a passage to safer places…because we are seeing that the Indians are rescuing their stranded students through the Hungary border. They are getting the Hungary border opened to rescue students stuck in Ukraine but no such measure is taken by the Pakistani government," said a Pakistani student while talking to the ARY News channel.
In another video, students lashed out at Pak govt for not paying heed to the Pakistani students stranded in Ukraine.
"We’ve been stuck here for hours, with nothing to eat or drink, and we cannot go back to our hostels either. We’re running around with our valuables and luggage, but to no avail so far," said a student in the video sitting with his friends at a train station in Kharkhiv.
Their parents have also accused the Pakistani embassy of papering over concerns raised by their children through glib assurances. They also slammed the Pakistani embassy, saying it was only giving statements instead of their children’s safe evacuation from the war zone.
It is worth noting that Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was in Russia to meet Putin on the day the Russian military forces launched a military offense into Ukraine.
On other hand, the Indian govt is taking lots of efforts to evacuate Indian nationals from the war-torn country. The first Air India flight was departed from Mumbai airport on Saturday morning, has now landed in the Romanian capital, Bucharest, to evacuate Indians stranded in Ukraine due to the Russian military offensive. Air India is also planning to operate more flights on Saturday to Bucharest and the Hungarian capital, Budapest, to evacuate Indians stranded in Ukraine.
Since the morning of February 24, Ukrainian airspace has been closed to civil aircraft operations , and therefore, the evacuation flights are operating out of Bucharest and Budapest. Around 20,000 Indians, mainly students, are currently stranded in Ukraine, the officials said.
