In the wake of escalating tensions, Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal has issued a fervent appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to urgently evacuate Indian nationals trapped in conflict zones.

Badal's call to action follows joint military strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran, which have placed many Punjabis, among other Indians, in a perilous situation. With reports confirming the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the assault, the urgency for evacuation has intensified.

Badal proposed the initiation of a special air-lift operation as soon as air routes become accessible, stressing the crucial need for immediate governmental intervention to safeguard affected citizens.
