New Delhi: Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia left stunned at a relief camp in Romania when he was interrupted by Romanian mayor.
A video of the same is going viral on social media platforms where it can be seen that the Union Minister is addressing the Indian students and suddenly got interrupted by the Romanian Mayor who can be heard as saying, ''Explain to them (the students) when they will leave home. I provide the shelter, I provide the food and I helped them, not you."
Reacting to the same, Scindia said, "Let me decide what I will speak on" and requested the mayor to "stand back."
Since, the Minister was a BJP leader, then in that case, how Congress could have missed the chance to hit Prime Minister Narendra Modi led Central government. As soon as the video landed in Congress courts, the party leaders on Friday slammed Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia over spat with the Romanian Mayor at a relief camp.
Notably, Scindia is one of the four ministers who reached Bucharest to oversee evacuation efforts of Indian students.
Reacting on this petty issue, Srinivas BV, the national president of the Indian Youth Congress, shared a video and took a swipe at Scindia.
''When the Mayor of Romania had to remind Scindia ji that we have made arrangements for the food and living of the children, not you," he tweeted.
However, the Indian government is taking every possible step and working round the clock to ensure that all Indian nationals are safe and secure'
In this regard, on Wednesday, the Union Minister for Civil Aviation had met Romanian Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca in Romania and thanked the latter for facilitating the safe evacuation of Indian citizens amid heightened tensions in Ukraine.
Scindia through his twitter handle also informed that the Romanian PM assured his continued support in the evacuation process.
During a meeting on February 28, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asserted that the entire government machinery is working round the clock to ensure that all Indian nationals there are safe and secure.
