Not a single virus out of India has threatened the world till jow..While world has come to a standstill due to the WuhanVirus
Clearly you didn't touch that link in OP.
The article is talking about wuhan virus spread in india, not about any new disease coming out of india.
Why get so defensive brah?
India far from perfect.

No matter how much hate and enourmous crap about China has been spewn from their netizens and especially confused diaspora, for the sake of humanity lets hope not.

India should firstly explain why hundreds of its citizens were left in Iran and their pleas for evacuation ignored by India. Hundreds of them are now infected purely because they stayed in Iran.

Indian pilgrims protesting outside Indian embassy in Tehran

SRINAGAR – At least 254 Indian pilgrims, mostly from J&K and Ladakh who are stranded in Iran for last nearly one month, have tested positive for COVID-19. The tests were conducted by a group of Indian doctors dispatched there for the purpose.

Kashmir Observer is in possession of the list of all 254 pilgrims who have tested positive. Almost all of them belong to J&K and Ladakh and are unlikely to be evacuated and will be quarantined in Iran for sometime, sources said.

The document, which says ‘List Of Pilgrims/Students Tested Positive for COVID-19’, includes the names, passport numbers and PNR numbers (for the flights back to India the travellers were originally booked on) of 254 pilgrims and students in Iran.

Many pilgrims reached by phone confirmed to Kashmir Observer the authenticity of the list and said they were in ‘terrible conditions’ alleging that the Indian embassy was “doing nothing to facilitate their return to India”.

Joint Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs, Dhamu Ravi, during the regular briefings organised by the health ministry on coronavirus, didn’t deny the number, saying they were verifying the list.

“With large number of pilgrims in Iran, it is very possible that some have tested positive. We are verifying numbers. Rest assured our mission there is taking good care of them,” he said.

“We have been left here to die, the Indian authorities have clearly told us that only people with negative reports will be evacuated and those who have tested positive will be treated in Iran,” said one of the pilgrims from Kargil.

A Kashmiri research scholar at Tehran University, Dr NA Sofi who is in regular touch with the pilgrims and Indian officials in Tehran confirmed that the pilgrims have been tested positive to Coronavirus and Indian authorities were not evacuating them any time soon.

New Delhi has reportedly asked Tehran to grant a sanatorium for the Indian pilgrims who tested positive so that they can be put inquarantine.

“But there are some issues with the approvals from the Iran authorities,” an official source said adding the Iranian systems are overstretched due to the grave magnitude of the pandemic.

There are over 6,000 Indian nationals in various provinces of Iran. Of them, there are about 1,100 stranded pilgrims mainly from Ladakh and Kashmir and nearly 300 students primarily from Jammu and Kashmir.

Sorry for hurting your feelings as well Mr. Chef, but first you are not in a position to point fingers on other when you yourself has not evacuated even a single citizen of yours ever, since inception of this crisis. Your students in Wuhan are left for dying.
Second, I am just saying they have airlifted many of their citizens...there could be delay but there is progress. You just want to cherry-pick.

Read the article. There is ZERO likelihood that the ones who tested positive will be coming back to India.

Pakistan left the Wuhan students in safe hands - hence they're all still alive and well. India left its (Muslim) citizens to their fate. Had India evacuated them early they may have been ok. Alternatively had India ensured they were left in a loccked down city (as Pakistan did with its citizens in Wuhan) where facilities for treatment were good, that too would have served them well.

Hope nz is doing fine btw.

India has already evacuated people from Iran and because the Iranian govt. was unable to do checkup there,India is sending a make-shift laboratory to test 1,200 citizens stuck there.


Get your facts correct before posting. Its just a search away. The rapid pace of community spread makes it impossible to save everyone before they get infected, especially in Iran as you know how grim the situation is there.
