He has stated that as all the stranded students and other residents of Jammu and Kashmir have been evacuated from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Dubai, there is no reason to delay evacuation and return of the students stranded in Pakistan, more so when the registration is complete, the number of stranded is far less as compared to other countries and air travel is not involved in their return.

He has also asked the MEA and J&K administration to facilitate the return of 22 pilgrims stranded in Quom, Iran for last more than 2 months.
