Pak aircraft to bring home 11 Indians

New Delhi: India on Tuesday accepted Pakistan’s offer to fly a special aircraft to New Delhi to bring home 11 Indians rescued by one of its warships from conflict-hit Yemen.

External Affairs spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said that India had accepted Pakistan’s offer to bring the 11 Indians rescued from Al Mukallah in Yemen by a special aircraft.
The Indians were evacuated by Pakistan Navy’s warship ‘PNS Aslat’ from Al Mukallah in Yemen last week along with 146 Pakistanis.

They are now in Karachi and are expected to be flown to New Delhi on Wednesday by a special aircraft.

Earlier, on Tuesday, Islamabad’s envoy to New Delhi, Abdul Basit, said that Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had offered a special aircraft to send the Indians home.
India also rescued several Pakistani citizens along with nationals from over two dozen countries, including United States, France and Germany.
