Venkaiah Naidu told the Upper House that Minister Jaishankar will give a statement on the conflict. Naidu also lauded the efforts of the union and state governments for rising to the occasion to evacuate the Indian students.
TDP MP K. Ravindra Kumar said that as safety and security of the students are ensured, now the government should take necessary steps to secure their future by consulting all the stakeholders. BJD MP Dr Amar Patnaik suggested reserving two to five per cent seats in all private and government colleges for the students who returned from Ukraine. TMC’s Dr Santanu Sen batted for special steps to accommodate these students in the country.
