i just watched cnn-ibn,,,,,,,n got to know about our sailors who are held captive since mar 2010,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
It has been nearly a year that six Indian sailors on the ship MV Iceberg were taken as hostage by Somali pirates but the government has not come to their rescue.
one of the reporter managed to speak to the sailors of the ship MV Iceberg which was taken over by pirates in March 2010.
its just moved me when The Chief officer of the ship, Dhiraj Tiwari recounted the daily ordeal that he and his men go through. He says food and water are rare and there is a constant fear of death. Their only question is: When will the Indian Government help rescue them?
its quite unfortunate that our govt is behaving as deaf and dumb,,,they don't even care about those parents whose children's are there in captivity,,,,are they nobody's children?
its terrible to hear a mother saying that she feels like doing everything to get her son back..
distressed father of the sailor went to Delhi to talk to the Defence Minister, Foreign Minister, Congress spokesperson Manish Tiwari, Meira Kumar, Manjunathan and Raghavendra but didn’t receive any help,
on the other hand Defence Minister AK Antony says his ministry does not get involved in negotiations to free Indian sailors held by Somali pirates. He said that whenever pirates capture any ship then the negotiations are done through other agencies and not by the defence ministry.''
no one is taking this issue seriously,,,,,,why govt is so helpless? why they don't take nay action against the owner of the ship ? why such deaf n dumb attitude? where these families should go? its really depressing to see such attitude of our govt towards their citizens?
what an irony that It has been a year-long excruciating ordeal for the six seafarers and also their families. But if the government doesn't take prompt and effective steps very soon, these forgotten Indians in Somalia perhaps would never see their families again.
lets make this "save sailors" a moment,,,,,,,,,,,,do spread this msg as many to as u can.........these sailors need to be haerd ,they need to be saved,,,,,,,they are indian they are also somebody's children.......lets move ahead with "save indian sailors" slogans................
