Earlier in the day, Scindia took to Twitter to express his gratitude to Romania for "caring for our children as their own".
He wrote, "Overcome by gratitude towards Romania for caring for our children as their own. From an American chef teaching himself to cook Indian food to police officers manning shelters 24x7, nothing is impossible when humans decide to stand up for their mates in testing times. More power to you."
After Russia declared war on Ukraine on February 24, the Indian government, under Operation Ganga, has been evacuating Indian nationals, especially students, from the war-torn country via neighbouring nations like Romania and Poland.
