Saddened by the news coming from Ukraine that our students have been left to their own devices at this critical hour. While students face war attacks and hostile borders, the Union Government should stop blaming on students & focus on evacuating them to safety. (1/2)
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin expressed deep sorrow and acute concern over alarming reports emerging from Ukraine indicating that thousands of Indian students were left to fend for themselves amidst active military bombardments. Highlighting the desperate plight of youths stranded without food, shelter, or transportation near hostile border crossings, Stalin urged the Union government to immediately halt blame-shifting narratives and concentrate on rapid, life-saving evacuations.
The Chief Minister stressed that when students face artillery shelling, bitter sub-zero temperatures, and physical intimidation at international frontiers, sovereign governance must respond with decisive humanitarian action. He condemned administrative apathy and remarks from central authorities that sought to shift responsibility onto students for remaining in conflict zones despite deteriorating security conditions across Eastern Europe.
Stalin reaffirmed that Tamil Nadu continues to mobilize all administrative resources to assist stranded scholars, coordinating closely with international embassies and establishing dedicated helpline desks for anxious parents. He called upon the Union government to deploy specialized rescue infrastructure and coordinate with European nations and local relief agencies to guarantee safe passage for all remaining students trapped across borders immediately.
