Calling it the most challenging evacuation mission for citizens stranded in Ukraine, Jaishankar said it was inspiring for other countries.

“Had the four Union ministers not gone to countries neighbouring Ukraine, India would not have got the same level of cooperation,” he said in the Parliament on April 6.

Modi was “personally invested in the evacuation”, and that he conducted meetings and supervised the situation in the midst of elections, foreign minister added.

While India abstained in the United Nations on a vote against Russia-Ukraine war, New Delhi sought an independent investigation into reports of civilian killings in Bucha, 37 km north of Kyiv.

Oleksiy Arestovych, an aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, had on April 3 said that Ukrainian troops had found the bodies of women, local officials and children in Bucha. Town mayor Fedoruk said 300 residents had been killed during a month-long occupation by the Russian army.

“If India has chosen a side, it is a side of peace and it is for an immediate end to violence. This is our principled stand and has consistently guided our position in international forums and debates, including in the UN,” he said adding that “continues to push for dialogue” and an end to violence. “If India can be of any assistance in this matter, we will be glad to contribute.”

Touted as the fastest network, Aaj Tak and India Today are leading media brands in their respective segments, and have a huge viewership. Getting emotional, hundreds of viewers who wanted to express their sentiments, were charged monies to get their views published/highlighted on the live chat on YouTube.

Here are few Screenshots from the live streaming of Aajtak and India Today, where they asked users to pay from Rs 20 to as high as Rs 10,000-to get their comment highlighted during a live chat.

However, not everyone was willing to pay. And in that case, those who wanted to comment for free, had to be contented with non-highlighted spots.

This reporter however, refused to pay and thus the comments were lost in the sea of comments. The live show was being watched by atleast 2,00,000 people on YouTube at any given time.

India Today group did not respond to the tweet sent to their official handle.
