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.

One woman dead, four critical after delivery of babies at Midnapore Medical College Hospital
Kolkata, Jan 11: A woman died and four others were critical after delivery of babies at the Midnapore Medical College and Hospital (MMCH), an official said on Saturday.
The family members of the deceased woman alleged that Ringer's Lactate administered on the intravenous (IV) fluid had expired and it was responsible for her death. They have lodged a complaint at the Kotwali police station.
The woman died on Friday after delivery of her baby on Wednesday, he said.
After the death of a woman and the deterioration in the health conditions of four other women, the state health department has formed a 13-member panel to investigate the matter, following a police complaint lodged with the Kotwali police station by the husband of the deceased, the official said.
"There is a death of a woman in Midnapore Medical College and Hospital. There are a few who are also critical. The family members have alleged that the Ringer's Lactate (RL) administered on the Intravenous (IV) fluid has expired. We have received complaints from the husband of the deceased woman and the family members of the other women patients. An investigation has been initiated," the official of the state health department told PTI.
Sources in the hospital said that samples of the RL have been collected and a report from the drug control is awaited. Once we get the report, the matter will be clear," he said.
The baby delivered by the deceased woman is still admitted to the MMCH, the official added.
