The Indian government is closely monitoring the developments in the Middle East, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, assured during a visit to Kochi, Kerala on Wednesday.
Addressing a gathering, he said the government is extending all possible help to Indians in the Gulf. He also expressed his gratitude to the Gulf leaders for taking care of Indians during the current crisis. He said: "Gulf countries are giving the utmost care to Indians working there. I am grateful to them for that."
Modi said it was natural for people to be concerned about what's happening in the Middle East today. He noted: "Millions of our brothers and sisters work there.
But you must remember that BJP-NDA government is in power today. Whenever any of our countrymen has been in trouble, we have used all our strength to protect them. Today's India doesn't leave its people in trouble. We are providing security facilities to Indians stuck in the war."
