If you are busy getting appalled point us to person who can help us: Siddaramaiah tells Jaishankar
Siddaramaiah, Jaishankar engage in ugly Twitter war over Kannadiga's return from Sudan
Bengaluru: The social media tiff between Union Minister of External Affairs, S Jaishankar, and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah over the safe return of Kannadigas stranded in crisis-hit Sudan continued to escalate on Tuesday.
Siddaramaiah took to Twitter to urge Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Jaishankar, and Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to take immediate action and ensure the safe return of the 31 members of the Hakki Pikki tribe from Karnataka who were stranded in Sudan due to the civil war.
However, Jaishankar accused Siddaramaiah of politicizing the issue and endangering the lives of Indians abroad. The Union Minister stated that the government was working towards the safe return of Indians in Sudan, but details and locations could not be disclosed due to security reasons.
Jaishankar added that the ongoing war in Sudan had affected the movement of the people, and plans regarding their safe return had to take into account the complicated security scenario.
“Simply appalled at your tweet! There are lives at stake; don’t do politics. Since the fighting started on April 14th, the Embassy of India in Khartoum has been continuously in touch with most Indian Nationals and PIOs in Sudan.” Jaishankar further added in his tweet which did not go down well with many. Siddaramaiah too slammed the Union Minister and hit back at him asking him to point him to someone who could help if he was busy getting appalled.
Siddaramaiah hit back at Jaishankar, justifying his request for help for the tribals, stating that the External Affairs Minister should be the one to help in such a situation. The Congress leader asked Jaishankar to point him to someone who could help if he was busy getting appalled.
“Since you are the External Affairs Minister @DrSJaishankar I have appealed you for help. If you are busy getting appalled please point us to the person who can help us bring our people back.” Siddaramaiah replied.
It is reported that 31 people from Karnataka belonging to Hakki Pikki tribe, are stranded in Sudan which is troubled by civil war.

Dear Vaibhav, well done: Kohli''s message after Sooryavanshi blitz against RCB
Guwahati (PTI): For a young cricketer, a few words of praise from superstar Virat Kohli can feel like a standing ovation, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had his moment after yet another breathtaking performance in the IPL.
The 15-year-old continues to carve a fearless reputation, taking on the best with remarkable ease. Fresh from unsettling Jasprit Bumrah, he went after Australian quick Josh Hazlewood, smashing a stunning 78 off just 26 balls to steer Rajasthan Royals to a comfortable six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru here on Friday.
After the match, Kohli signed the youngster’s cap and left a simple but special message: “Dear Vaibhav, well done.”
The innings also propelled Sooryavanshi to the top of the run charts this season, earning him the Orange Cap.
Rajasthan Royals stayed unbeaten with four wins in as many games, while the defending champions suffered their first loss of the campaign.
