New Delhi: Though the Indian media has been intensely showing every possible updated news about the Russia-Ukraine war and the Indian government is also raising the issue on international platforms, but now on Tuesday, for the first time on, the war would be brought for discussion in Lok Sabha also under Rule 193.

The permission for the discussion was granted by speaker Om Birla as suggested in the Business Advisory Committee of the Lok Sabha.

He said that short term discussion on the Ukraine crisis could be discussed which was demanded by several political parties.

Notices for Rule 193 have been given by RSP Lok Sabha MP N.K. Premachandran and Congress MP Manish Tewari.

According to reports,  around two hours have been given to discuss the topic in LS. After that, a reply is also expected from Minister of External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. The report said that Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia could also be asked to share his views since being a Minister he played a key role in coordinating efforts of various airlines including private airlines to fly aircraft to bring Indians back.

The primary reason for the discussion is to understand how the situation currently is in Ukraine and what is India's stand, the sources said.

The members want to know about plans being made by the government to accommodate the students in Indian colleges who were brought back under Operation Ganga from war-hit Ukraine via special flights.

Operation Ganga, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, was launched on February 26. The first evacuation flight from Bucharest reached New Delhi with 249 nationals on 27 February. Op Ganga went on till March 11.

Many students who were in their later years of college for medical education see their future in limbo with the college infrastructure destroyed in Ukraine.
