Owaisi Seeks Help to Evacuate Indians Stranded in Iraq
Imagine some Indian people went on a trip to Iraq.
Suddenly, because of a problem between Israel and Iran, all the airplanes stopped flying!
Now, about 120 of these Indian travelers can't get back home.
A politician named Asaduddin Owaisi is asking the government to help.
He wants them to talk to the embassy in Kuwait so they can get special permission to fly home from Kuwait.
He hopes everyone can get back safely.
AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi requested the External Affairs Ministry to help evacuate Indian pilgrims.
Around 120 Indian pilgrims are stranded in Iraq.
The pilgrims are Shia Muslims who were on a pilgrimage.
Flights from Iraq have been stopped due to the hostilities between Israel and Iran.
Owaisi suggested the Indian government request the Kuwait embassy to issue e-visas.
