ISLAMABAD: The higher officials from Pakistan Navy told the Parliamentary committee that a Pakistan Navy ship has entered the port city of Aden to evacuate the Pakistani community on Tuesday, Aaj News reported.

While briefing the National Assembly’s standing committee on Defence Pakistan navy officials told that the second ship will leave for Yemen later today.

According to the Pakistan’s foreign office official, Saudia heavily bombarded the Houthi rebels targets in Yemen, 20 Pakistanis have reached the city of Aden to evict the chaotic country. Out of 3,000 Pakistanis nearly 500 Pakistani’s are said to be trapped in Aden.

The official further added that around 150 Pakisatanis have left for Aden from different parts of Yemen their documents are already being arranged by the Yemini officials.

The first part of eviction was made on Sunday through an airplane on which 500 citizens were on board. The vessel was sent in an effort to fasten the evacuation process as PM Nawaz Sharif is personally monitoring the whole operation.

Pakistan and Saudia have brotherly ties for decades but despite of the relations Pakistan has yet not showed a green signal to help out Saudia in an ongoing war. The air strikes led by Saudia Arabia have destroyed major bases of rebels.
 
How do you know? Do you watch the same 'dramatic' Bollywood and then complain about it?

I don't watch Indian movies. Last time i watched an Indian movie was around in late 90s even at that time i wasn't a frequent viewer of Indian movies.
 
Nope you totally misunderstood my statement..... what i meant to say was that few days back Modi requested KSA/China for help to evacuate indians... i neva said indian gov is not doing any thing.......
Sorry but would like to correct you mate. We asked help from Saudi Arabia, not China. But it doesn't mean if need arises and there are no other options available then we might ask help of Chinese state as well as they will ask our help to save their own citizens. But in this case we haven't asked China help at all. Thank you.

so he was a coward man, what does it prove, you comparing your Navy with a coward man



yes we rescued majority of them, we air lifted them and didnt put them thru to sea voyage. Unlike sheep who lives with each other and easy to herd, lions spread out in the large territory so its not easy to collect them.
He somehow compared the embassy officials, please all nations defense forces with dignity whether its yours, ours or any other country's. Thank you.
 
indeed we did
their Navy and their government abandoned them and the Indian sailors and families were cursing the Indians
MV Suez finally safe, Indian sailors in Pakistan



The crew says it owes a massive debt to Pakistani activist Ansar Burney who helped in the negotiations with pirates, as well as with raising a part of the ransom money. "The community has worked really hard towards the cause of rescuing these sailors. This is a historical day today and I would like to mention that the Pakistan navy has supported us when we had lost all hope," said Mr Burney after the sailors reached Karachi.

The 22-member crew - that included four Pakistanis - was freed last week by Somali pirates; the release secured after a $2.1 million ransom was paid, some of it raised through donations in Pakistan. Within hours of being declared free, the Suez was attacked again by pirates.

Pakistan deputed a warship - the PNS Babur - to escort the Suez to safer waters. India has been accused of ignoring pleas for help, both from the crew and from the family. When the INS Godavari eventually reached the Suez, a diplomatic row erupted. India accused the PNS Babar of aggressive manouvering which led to it grazing the Indian warship. Both countries issued strong statements.
I am speechless that even senior members like you resort to such low tactics as we hold some posters at least in high regards. There are some exceptionally good members here like Oscar, you, Agnostic Muslim etc. But sometimes you also do different things which are not expected from you or others. But forget it. Sometimes I wander off. Now coming on topic of which you mentioned. IN ship was deployed in anti piracy duties far from the location. PN ship was nearby. And we Indians do acknowledge the good deeds of Mr Ansaar Burney and thank him. Now when money was paid and hijacked ship moved, it again came under attack but somehow crew managed to save it from pirates clutches. Then later on PN ship joined the ship in international waters and provided the food and medicine whatever was urgent. And we acknowledge and say thank you to this deed. Nlw in India domestic news channels went crazy saying IN didn't responded to distress call. As per my information its a international co-ordinated operation to respond to distress call no matter which country navy, air force or for the matter any authorities. PN ship was nearest so it responded. Now when one ship is already on station helping then others are not required unless asked for. But due to affected families hue & cry India diverted the INS ship to check for those sailors onboard hijacked but now freed ship. When it reached there, PN ship asked IN ship to not approach the civilian ship, and later grazed it near back. IN boat moved out of area instead of escalating it to further level. Later videos surfaced from both IN ship as well as PN ship both confirmed that it indeed it was PN ship grazing IN ship. I will avoid what repercussions could have been there if IN had responded in similar aggression. But you created whole imaginary scenario where IN abandons the Indian abroad and Pakistan's media also did that at that time(sailors families too). I am not here to argue about anything only to state that senior members should act like guide to us(newbies). If I came out hard, I am sorry. Thank you.
 
An hour back Sri Lanka also made request to save their citizens as well. GOI has agreed to help in evacuating the Sri Lankans too apart from Bangladeshi citizens. Thank you.

Central railway is arranging to send arriving indian citizens from Yemen to their nearest railway station(near home) free of cost from Mumbai.
