VIDEO: “We provided shelter, food for Indian students… Not you”: Romanian mayor shouted at Jyotiraditya Scindia

A video clip of Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia is going viral on the social media in which a Romanian mayor can be seen scolding the Indian minister and asked him to explain to them when the Indian students will leave for home.

Congress party leaders and a section of social media users have been sharing the video of Jyotiraditya Scindia with the narrative “When Raja Scindia tried to attempt familiar PR antics in Romania, the Romanian Mayor rebuked him and reminded him they are the ones who arranged for food & shelter.” They also claimed that students also clapped for the mayor.

The conversation between Romanian Mayor and Scindia:

Mayor: “Don’t come out with these kind of lies”. “Explain them when they leave for home.”

Scindia (repeatedly): “Let me decide what am gonna speak on.”

As part of its efforts to evacuate Indian students stranded in the war-hit Ukraine, the Centre on Monday decided that Union ministers Hardeep Puri, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Kiren Rijiju and VK Singh will travel to Ukraine’s neighbouring countries to coordinate the evacuation mission and help bring back students.

Scindia has been asked to take care of the evacuation efforts from Romania and Moldova.
