00:00You would have seen that there have been a string of attacks in Saudi Arabia, and we
00:05have condemned those attacks.
00:07Yesterday also there was an attack on Aramco headquarters.
00:11We condemn all such attacks on civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, and we feel that such attacks
00:18need to cease immediately.
00:20They are totally unacceptable.
00:22We stand in solidarity with the people and government of Saudi Arabia in defense of their
00:27sovereignty, and we hope that there is return to peace and normalcy in the region soon.
00:37Insofar as the situation of our people, we have a large diaspora there.
00:41We also, our embassy in Saudi Arabia, they have been in regular touch with our community
00:47members for their welfare.
00:49At the same time, they issued advisories.
00:50We also have a lot of travelers between Saudi Arabia and India.
00:53Some of them have been impacted because there have been disruptions in the flight schedule
01:00after the attack on the Riyadh International Airport and other airports that happened in
01:05Saudi Arabia.
01:07Indian carriers have been impacted.
01:09There have been disruptions.
01:11But Saudi Arabian Airlines several flight operations are happening.
01:19Those flights are moving between India and Saudi Arabia.
01:24The ones which have been disrupted, the airlines connections, are those originating or going to
01:29Riyadh, to Dhamam, to Medina, and to one or two more airports, Jidda, for example.
01:39We have a lot of travelers there, but our embassy is in touch with our people there.
01:45And hopefully, as things settle down or as they are continuing to provide updated information
01:51to our travelers or people who are stuck there.
01:55The attack that had happened on 10th of October, 12 people, as I had informed you earlier, had
02:01been injured.
02:02One of them, unfortunately, passed away.
02:05His last rites, as per the wishes of the family, was performed in Riyadh.
02:10And the embassy assisted the last rites.
02:13Our ambassador was also there.
02:15There are three people who have been discharged of the 11.
02:18And eight people continue to be in the hospital, four of them in ICU.
02:23Our embassy officials are regularly visiting them in the hospital.
02:27At the same time, they are also in touch with their family members.
02:30We remain committed to doing our best for the welfare and well-being of our nationals abroad.
02:38So that was what I had to say in response to your question, Siddhant.
02:43Kavita, your question is, how many people are here?
02:46I don't have this.
02:48But I have to tell you that, Bharat and Saudi Arabia have been in touch with many people.
02:54There are many people here.
02:56There are many people here.
02:56There are many people here.
02:57There are many people here.
03:13There are many people here.
03:17There are many people here.
03:17Our foreign flight is going to be.
03:20There were many people here.
03:21But Saudi Arabia, the one on Saudi Arabia, the one on Saudi Arabia, the one on Saudi Arabia.
03:27There are flights going.
03:29So, there are a little difficulties.
03:33Our embassy is still doing what we can do.
03:38And the other embassy is still doing what we can do.

04:01spoke to the secretary of the supreme national security council of Iran his
04:07Excellency dr. Mohsen Rezai they discussed bilateral issues they also

05:52council as today issued a statement talking about the durga puja celebrations
05:58and while they say that they quote about 141 incidents which include killings
06:05over the last three months the point that they're making is that you know there have
06:10not been any arrests and according to them you know there is like a continuous
06:15effort to incite communal tensions and hurt religious sentiments I want to
06:21understand because the minority organization in Bangladesh has in the past also raised this issue and

06:31subject
06:34okay we need to this is we need up on day from the Asian age Deccan Chronicle what
