Adnan Sami has shared a viral video supposedly shared by a Pakistani student.

Reacting to the video, he tweeted, “Muslims will spend their whole life proving their loyalty to India blah blah blah”!! What benefit are the Pak Muslims enjoying apart from being treated like dispensable scum by their own government? This is shameful!”

The video has a man talking about how the bus seen parked at a distance has been sent the by Indian embassy to transport Indian students from a Wuhan University to the airport. The speaker further says that the students will then be evacuated from China and will be sent home. He adds students from Bangladesh will also be evacuated the same night.

Claiming to be a Pakistani student, he says, “And we Pakistanis are stuck here whose government says ‘aap waha pe jio, maro, zinda raho, aap infected hote ho, ho jao bhale, hum aapko na evacuate karenge, na facilitate karenge (you live or die there, if you get infected let it be, we will neither evacuate you nor facilitate you)’. Shame on you Pakistan government, learn something from them. Learn how they care for their people).”

Adnan shared another video which shows a student, claiming to be Pakistani, requests Pakistan army to evacuate them from China as the Pakistan government has refused to help them. He captioned it, “Tragically Shameful #HumanityFirst.”
