Meanwhile, the petition demanded the supply of emergency supplies, including medical and food supplies, to those stranded in Ukraine amid the deadly offensive by Russian forces. According to the petitioner, bringing back Indian citizens is the responsibility of the government.
The petition claims, “Students across our country are stuck in Ukraine, and their families are begging the government for assistance.” The government is liable for the security and well-being of its citizens not only at home but also abroad, especially when the people are helpless and there is no means of transportation. The government will have to take several diplomatic measures.”
