External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar accused the Congress of politicising the situation of Indians in war - torn Sudan and said no electoral goal justifies endangering Indians abroad. The Union minister was responding to a tweet by Congress leader Siddaramaiah accusing the government of not evacuating 31 tribals from Karnataka stranded in Sudan. Jaishankar wrote, "Simply appalled at your tweet! There are lives at stake. Don’t do politics."
Simply appalled at your tweet! There are lives at stake; don’t do politics.

The external affairs minister said since the fighting started, the Indian embassy has been in touch with most Indian nationals in Sudan. "Their details and locations cannot be made public for security reasons. Their movement is constrained by fierce fighting that is ongoing. Plans regarding them have to take into account a very complicated security scenario. The embassy is in constant touch with the ministry in that regard," Jaishankar said
