00:00Welcome to EETV, firstly congratulations to you as you have got the award for Pravasibhartiya
00:2625, so what would you say, it was a tough journey, Operation Ganga was your biggest challenge?
00:34Yes, it was a challenge as it was a very difficult task to get 22,000 people out of there in
00:43a very short period of time and it was possible only with the help of our Associate Prime
00:50Minister Narendra Modi that he spoke to both the Prime Ministers and took 24 hours of
00:57time, no bombarding, nothing should happen and in that time we got maximum time to evacuate
01:02maximum people from there to Malduva and from Malduva by bus, as the airport of Malduva was
01:07also closed, so no flight could go from there, so we sent them by bus to Bukharest, Suchaba,
01:14which was the nearest airport of Romania, and the Indian government also arranged for
01:21100 aeroplanes for free, they were sent there for free.
01:26How do you feel that you have got this award today?
01:29It is a very good thing.
01:32Sir, you have also become emotional today.
01:35It was a big challenge at that time, you will see only Pravasibhartiya, at that time there
01:41were not only Indians, there were people from other countries as well.
01:44Yes, there were a lot of people.
01:46At that time, everyone was leaving from there by calling themselves Indians, because Indians
01:51had a different image, and Ukrainians were also supporting Indians, Russians were also
01:57supporting, so a lot of people were leaving with the name of Indians, and the flight was
02:02also going, it was not being asked that you are an Indian.
02:06Whoever sat, was sent to Delhi.
02:08So, Modi ji's greatness was that he saw humanity there, he did not see Indians.
02:14He helped everyone who was in trouble.
02:16And we also did the same.
02:18The one who was sitting in the bus, we did not ask anyone that who are you, just sit
02:21in the bus and go.
02:22And after sitting in the bus, there was a journey of 8 hours from Kishnev to Bukharest,
02:26so they were provided with water, biscuits, because they came in such a situation, a lot
02:30of people were hungry for a long time, they could not eat.
02:32So as far as possible, we provided them with breakfast, water, juice and sent them
02:37ahead.
02:38And then our embassy there, they took care of it further and sent them to India.
02:43Sir, what will you say to other immigrants, sir?
02:46Look, we have only one message for other immigrants, earn there, spend here, invest
02:52here.
02:53This respect will take you ahead, sir.
02:56How will it take you?
02:58No, respect is that, of course, all the other Indians will also be encouraged or not.
03:06Recognition is always recognition.
03:09But I want to say to all our people that you invest something here in India.
03:16Everyone invest something, then India will grow, India will develop.
03:21Sir, you were seeing, like the operation Ganga, the war in Ukraine in 2022, like the
03:30Central Government, the Indian community trapped in Ukraine, how they were brought.
03:36So when everyone took it on their shoulders, today they have received an award.
03:41The award that I saw today, they have received the Immigrant Indian Honour 2025.
03:46They said that in the future, all the immigrant Indian communities will influence them somewhere
03:53in the future.
