Bengaluru, March 1: As some opposition party leaders, including intellectual media outlets, attempted to politicise the evacuation process at a time when they should have remained united, former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda spoke out and urged not to politicise the evacuation process.He further asked everyone to work together.

 

Taking the social media site, JD(S) patriarch in a series of tweets said, scoring points at this hour of crisis will make us look bad.

 

"I have been watching videos of our young citizens stranded in Ukraine making fervent pleas for evacuation. It is heart-wrenching to see their plight. I can understand their desperation to get back home safely. But when a war is raging in that country and there is so much uncertainty on the ground, and when operational links are broken, it is only fair that we support our officers and embassies to focus on the job at hand," Gowda tweeted.

 

 

 

He said, he knows from experience that these operations can be tough and delicate. "Let us not politicise the evacuation process. It will demoralise those conducting the operation. Scoring points at this hour of crisis will make us look bad. Let us work together," he added.

 

From sharing fake news to criticising the government over 'Operation Ganga,' some political parties are leaving no stone unturned to politicise the central government-led evacuation process.

 

 

Even after the Indian government started the 'Operation Ganga' evacuation process, and evacuated more than 950 Indian nationals from Ukraine, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi asked the government to urgently share its evacuation plan with those stranded in Ukraine. By asking such a question, the RaGa has shown how much he is aware of the latest affairs.
