The recent Iraq crisis shook not just the Arab world, but the entire world with its brutality. Indian nurses working in Iraq were stuck in the middle of a civil war, and here at home, self-proclaimed messaihs started beating their chest, cursing the Modi government for not rescuing Indian nationals from war-torn Iraq. The Indian government left no stone unturned to rescue Indians. In this effort to rescue the nurses, the government deployed INS Mysore in Persian Gulf. Media went gaga over Iraq crisis, but the same media silent over the extraordinary role played by the NSA and PMO in rescuing nurses from Iraq. Rescue mission was completed and the messaihs started praising Kerala government for the rescue operation. They fail to understand that neither foreign relations nor Indian defense forces are commanded by any state government in India. We may be political opponents, ideological enemies, but during hours of crisis, we must act like one big family that is “India”. Don’t forget that first time ever in the history of India, central government acted against the enemy to save its citizens, unlike in the 1989 kidnapping of Rubaiya Sayeed, when the central government threatened the JK government with dismissal, if the militants were not exchanged for Rubaiya. We can’t blame political opponents for failing to acknowledge the extraordinary successful mission of rescuing Indian citizens from Iraq, but the bigger concern is that the fourth pillar of Democracy -- the media -- which went silent as soon as rescue mission was completed.- copied
