A video of an Indian student named Rashid Rizwan who is studying in Ukraine went viral on social media after he alleged that he is stranded in Ukraine and expressed his anger against the Indian government for not evacuating him.

According to Rizwan, few students were allegedly stuck in Ukraine for more than ten hours near the border, and no Indian official had contacted them.

The student could be seen crying in the video, said he preferred to die rather than be in his current situation, and then proceeded to attack the Modi government by questioning the credibility of the Indian government and its officials.

The video of Rizwan blaming the Indian government over its alleged ‘failure’ to evacuate Indians was immediately picked up by the left-liberals and the opposition party that saw this as an opportunity to malign the Modi government’s efforts to evacuate over 18,000 students stuck in Ukraine.

The videos that have now been widely shared are being used as a narrative to misinform the public that the Indian government had failed to help the Indian students studying in Ukraine and did not have any plans to evacuate them.

However, under operation Ganga, the Indian government launched a large-scale operation to bring back the stranded Indian public in Ukraine and hundreds have already reached India from flights that left Romania and Hungary that share a border with Ukraine.

But now it has emerged that Rashid Rizwan who hails from the Gopalganj district of Bihar has been allegedly part of several anti-India propaganda on social media platforms and in 2020, he had posted an image of a three-year-old child, sitting on the blood-splattered body of his grandfather who was killed by the Pakistan-sponsored jihadist and tried to build a narrative that Kashmir had become like Syria.

He hinted that the Modi government had converted the ‘heaven’ Kashmir into a ‘hell’ and this did not go down well with many netizens who reminded that Rizwan had a history of propagating misinformation against the Indian government.

A social media user also shared a screenshot of a tweet in which Rizwan was seen protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) outside his college in Ukraine and also had supported radical Islamist, and Delhi riots accused Safoora Zargar.

In a tweet, Rizwan had said, Zargar was charged under the UAPA for orchestrating the Anti-Hindu Delhi Riots, was arrested because she was a Muslim and that the Delhi police arrested only Muslims and did not take any actions against Hindus who he called murderers.

Rizwan also called the withdrawal of the farm laws by the Modi government a victory of Shaheen Bagh Anti-CAA protests in a tweet and said that these protestors knew how to oppose the fascist government.
