Prime Minister Narendra Modi had called Russian President Vladimir Putin requesting to stop the war with Ukraine during the evacuation of medical students stuck in war-ravaged Ukraine, said deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar.
Pawar was speaking during the election campaign of Mahayuti candidate Udayanraje Bhosale, in Wai, Satara, on Saturday.
The NCP (AP) leader spoke during a campaign programme organised for Bhosale who is contesting on the BJP ticket.
In Satara Lok Sabha Constituency, Udayanraje is preparing to avenge the 2019 defeat by the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP undivided) Shriniwas Patil.
He is pitted against NCP (SCP) candidate and MLC Shashikant Shinde. Satara will go for the poll on May 7.
Pawar said, PM Modi called Putin and requested to stop the war in Ukraine during the evacuation.
“Special planes were sent to evacuate the students and they were brought back safely. This is not the work of an ordinary person, only a strong leader can stand up in such situations,” he said.
Pawar, while praising PM, Modi, also said after the strong response given by India during the Pulwama attack to Pakistan it has stopped its movements.
