After Pakistan had refused to evacuate its students from China in the wake of coronavirus outbreak, on humanitarian grounds India had offered to help Pakistani students, provided if Pakistan requests for the same. But anti-India sentiments amongst few Pakistanis are so strong that even at this hour of distress they choose to place their hate for India before their lives.
Two such hate-filled Pakistani students, stranded in Wuhan, despite being abandoned by their country took to Twitter today to audaciously renounce India’s offer.
In a video clip shared by a Pakistan daily called Independent Urdu, two Pakistani students, one of whom identifies himself as Waqar Khan, a Pakistani student in Wuhan, China, doing his masters for Wuhan Institute of Technology and the other who identifies himself as Muneeb, studying in the same university, are heard reacting to MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar’s statement on February 6 on the offer to evacuate Pakistani students from coronavirus-hit Wuhan.

Flatly refusing the offer of humanitarian help by India, the students are heard saying that “However bad Pakistan’s state might be, it is not that bad, that it seeks India’s help”.
Instead of worrying about the precarious state they are currently in after being left to die by their own Nation, these students audaciously speak about their Indian counterparts who have been securely airlifted and brought back to India.
Spreading false information, these students say that instead of getting worried about them, India should worry about the Indian students airlifted from China. According to these two Pakistani students, those Indian students who are in touch with them have informed them that they have all been quarantined in one room and fear being infected in case even one coronavirus positive person is present amongst them.
They fictionize that India students wished that they stayed back in China as they would receive better treatment there. Obviously, these Pakistani students do not provide any proof to substantiate their concocted claims.
Comments of these two students contrast the comments of another student who had slammed the Pakistan government few days ago for refusing to evacuate them. Recently, a tragic video was uploaded on Twitter by one Pakistani student in Wuhan.
Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar had said on February 6 that India can consider evacuating Pakistani students if Pakistan PM Imran Khan-led government’s requests for the same. “No such request has been received by us from the government of Pakistan. But if such a situation arises and keeping in mind the resources available, we can look into it.” Raveesh Kumar was quoted as saying.
The statement came after Pakistan refused to airlift students from Wuhan, the epicentre of deadly coronavirus, as an “act of solidarity” towards their ally China.
While Pakistan refused to evacuate their citizens from China in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, India had offered to help Pakistan and other neighbours to help and board the flight to come from Wuhan. External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar reiterated this in the Rajya Sabha yesterday as he briefed the House regarding the situation of Indian nationals in China, especially in Wuhan.
Hundreds of Pakistani students, who are stuck in China have made desperate pleas to the Imran Khan government to evacuate them. Pakistan has more than 28,000 students in China, including 500 in the worst-hit city of Wuhan.

Life and death is in Allah’s hand : Pak govt to Pak students pleading for help in Wuhan
2nd February
Indian Defence News portal has reported that Pakistani students are crying for help in China due to Coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan city of China. When Pakistani students called the Pakistani Embassy in China for help, then Pakistani Embassy didn’t reply.
A Pakistani govt representative said to students, “Zindagi-Maut Allah Ke Hath Me Hai. Yaha aani hai ya waha aani hai (Life-Death are in hand of Allah. either it will come here or there)“
Pakistan has decided that it will not rescue its people from China during this Coronavirus outbreak. Dr. Zafar Mirza, Special Assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan said that it is not right time to recall our citizens from China due to friendly relationship between the two countries. At such times we do not want to make them realize that our people are not safe there. Dr. Zafar Mirza said that our decision is not only in the country’s interest but in the interest of the world.
According to Pakistani govt officials, Pakistan will not evacuate its citizens from the coronavirus-hit Wuhan to show “solidarity” with its all-weather ally China.

President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Dr. Arif Alvi tweeted, “If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it, but if the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place”
Prophet's ﷺ directions regarding disease outbreaks are a good guide even 2day “If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it, but if the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place” (Bukhari & Muslim) Let us help those stuck there.

Pakistan knows that it cannot treat anyone in its country with a dangerous virus like Corona. Therefore, it has decided that better health facilities are being provided in China under the supervision of World Health Organization at this time and Pakistani citizens and students will be more safe in China.
Pakistani Senator Rehman Malik tweeted about situation of Pakistani students in China.

Pakistan has clearly clarified that they have no intention of bringing back the Pakistani people and students from China.
This came on a whatsapp. I feel sad that the Pakistani students and others are stuck in China despite #CoronavirusOutbreak. India like US and others are bringing their citizens back but Pakistan govt is leaving them to their fate. pic.twitter.com/fLMJvyScwJ
