'Bridge of Hope': Illustration of PM Modi submerged in water & acting as a bridge for Indians in Ukraine goes viral

At the time when the Indian government is taking lots of efforts to evacuate its residents from conflict-hit Ukraine, an illustration where Prime Minister Narendra Modi has acted as a bridge for Indians in Ukraine is making rounds on social media.

 

 

Union Minister Piyush Goyal has posted an illustration on homegrown microblogging website Koo and Twitter.“PM Narendra Modi Ji, India’s Bridge of Hope,” Goyal says.

 

Within the illustration, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is half-submerged in water and his arms are stretched, one touching what seems to be Ukraine and opposite India. An extended line of Indian college students climbs on PM Modi as they cross the water. However, there isn’t anyone standing between the divide to assist college students of different nations cross to security.

 

 

The scholars of Pakistan, China and the US are seen standing alone, shouting for assist, whereas caricatures of their leaders – Imran Khan, Xi Jinping and Joe Biden – peek out from partitions.

 

Nearly 18,000 Indians, mostly students, were in Ukraine before the Russian invasion started on February 24. Thousands have managed to reach home in evacuation flights.

 

 

India has been flying aircraft to countries neighbouring Ukraine, which is under attack by invading Russian forces, to bring students home safely. The students have been asked to move towards the border in western Ukraine by whatever means possible.
