Jaishankar breaks silence on Iran warship IRIS Dena sinking, IRIS Lavan's docking
EXternal affairs government minister S Jaishankar on sabbatum called the sinking feeling of the iranian language combat ship IRIS Dena unfortunate and said India adopted a humane approach after Iran sent a request regarding IRIS Lavan.Speaking at the Raisina Dialogue on Saturday, Jaishankar said, “You had these ships, and we got a message from the Iranian side that one of the ships, which presumably was closest to us--to our waters at that point of time, wanted to come into our port. They were reporting that they were having problems. And so, my recollection is this was on the 28th, and on the 1st, we said, ‘Okay, you can come in.’ And it took them a few days to sail in, and then they docked in Kochi. And the ship is there. And obviously, the people on the ship, a lot of them were young cadets--that is my understanding. They have disembarked; they are, you know, in a nearby facility... When they set out and came here, the situation was totally different. They were coming in for a fleet review, and then they got, in a way, caught on the wrong side of events.” He added, “So for us, when this ship wanted to come in, and that too in difficulties, I think it was the humane thing to do. And I think we were guided by that principle. And in a sense, of the other ships, one obviously had a similar situation in Sri Lanka, and they took the decision which they did, and one unfortunately didn't make it. So I think where really approached it from the point of view of, in a sense, of humanity, of other than, you know, whatever the legal issues were. And I think we did the right thing.”
