As Middle East flames rise, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan has urgently written to PM Narendra Modi, imploring federal action to protect Indians in the crossfire.
Dated Sunday, the missive details post-strike turmoil on Iran, whose fallout endangers Gulf stability. Vijayan voiced shared national trepidation, particularly for Kerala’s vast migrant workforce.
‘Our citizens, many from Kerala, face unprecedented threats; we must secure them, including evacuation if essential,’ he implored, confident in Delhi’s resolve.
Kerala pledges full backing, from family helplines to operational support.
Flashpoint: Israel’s Saturday onslaught on Iran spurred missile-drone reprisals on US Gulf bases. Israel counters with precision hits—over 30 in Iran, shattering defenses and leadership.
IDF revelations stun: Khamenei’s death claimed, alongside seven commanders like Nasirzadeh and IRGC chief.
Vijayan’s proactive stance spotlights India’s exposure, where Gulf remittances fuel growth. This could catalyze emergency protocols, diplomatic overtures, and inter-state synergy.
In a world of brinkmanship, the letter humanizes the stakes, urging preemptive measures to forestall tragedy and uphold India’s global migrant protector role.
