Like A True Indian Mom, Ms Swaraj Scolded Navy Officer Before Rescuing His Ship From Yemen

Sushma Swaraj is the Mother-Savior for every Indian abroad.

Recently, she was in news for evacuating Indians from the war-torn Yemen. Every Indian returned back safely due to the diligent efforts of the Ministry of External Affairs headed by Sushma Swaraj.

After evacuating Indians, the Indian Government released a cautionary advisory against traveling to Yemen. One Indian vessel ignored this advisory and was stuck in the Aden, Yemen.

The Naval Officer tweeted an SOS to Mrs. Swaraj, informing her that he had his wife with him and requested urgent assistance.

SOS @SushmaSwaraj , pls help me & my wife repatriate India from Aden, Yemen. I am chief officer in indian vessel Jag Prabha, stuck in Aden.

And like always, Sushma Swaraj swung into action and took charge. She asked him questions that would help to get him and his family out of danger.

What is the number of Indian nationals on the ship ? @AXssProhibited

Do we have an Indian Navy Ship close by ? https://t.co/a1NIlamgdD

The Naval officer said that the stranded ship was Indian and there were 23 Indian nationals on the ship. He requested that the travel advisory be relaxed for some time so that he can be rescued.

@SushmaSwaraj all are indian crew. Vessel’s Flag is Indian.

@SushmaSwaraj if MEA grant one time relaxation to Yemen travel advisory then my relievers can come & replace us

That’s when Sushma Swaraj scolded the officer for not taking the advice of the MEA.

You know the situation in Yemen. You acted contrary to our advice. You want more people to land in your situation ? @AXssProhibited

— Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) February 22, 2017

 

But she did make every effort to get the stranded Indians out of there. She tweeted to the Indian Navy and even notified the Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.

Please rescue Indian nationals from this ship in Aden (Yemen). https://t.co/UqI0xiLCod

— Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) February 22, 2017

I have requested my colleague @manoharparrikar ji to rescue Indian nationals from your ship. /1 @AXssProhibited

— Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) February 22, 2017

And that was that. The stranded Indians are safe now, taken care by Sushmaji.

But not before getting an earful of scolding from her.

Which was well deserved, to be fair! 😛
