Actor Akshay Kumar has hailed Operation Sankat Mochan — initiated to evacuate Indians from South Sudan, which has been rocked by violence that has claimed hundreds of lives.
The actor, who had earlier urged External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj for speedy evacuation of Indians from South Sudan, tweeted: ‘Congratulations on the success of Operation Sankat Mochan undertaken to evacuate Indians from war-torn South Sudan Sushma Swaraj Gen VK Singh.’
A total of 156 Indian nationals, including 46 from Kerala, were brought back to India from violence-hit South Sudan on Friday on board a special IAF plane as part of ‘Operation Sankat Mochan’. Sushma Swaraj and Minister of State for External Affairs V.K. Singh led the operation. (IANS)
