Kazi from Bareilly trapped in Saudi during Iran war, Maulana appeals to PM Modi
Maulana Amjad Raza Khan from Bareilly and several Indian nationals are stranded in Saudi Arabia due to the ongoing war in Iran, prompting appeals for assistance from Indian authorities.
Maulana Amjad Raza Khan, along with hundreds of Indian citizens, is currently stranded in Saudi Arabia due to the ongoing conflict in Iran. The group had traveled to Mecca for religious observances on February 23rd but now faces uncertainty regarding their return. The situation has become critical as the war has led to a cancellation of international flights, putting their planned return on April 4th in jeopardy. As fear and anxiety grow among their family members back in Bareilly, appeals have been made to the Indian government for assistance.
The National Secretary of Jamaat Raza Mustafa, Mehndi Hasan, has expressed the dire need for intervention from the Indian authorities due to the troubling circumstances surrounding the group's return. Alongside him, Maulana Shahabuddin Rizvi, the President of the All India Muslim Jamaat, has also called for urgent action. The presence of thousands of pilgrims in Mecca for the holy month of Ramadan adds to the urgency of the situation as they too are affected by the disruption in international flights due to the ongoing war.
With a significant number of citizens stranded, there is a palpable atmosphere of fear and concern among the families back home in Bareilly. Continuous communication between the stranded individuals and their relatives has elevated emotions as they await any news regarding their safe return. The unfolding situation underscores the complexities faced by Indian nationals abroad amidst international conflicts and the need for diplomatic efforts to ensure their safety.
