Priyanka Chaturvedi’s Tweet war with Poland Ambassador
Priyanka Chaturvedi’s excitement to be seen and noticed knows no boundaries. In her recent flurry, she tweeted that Indians are not being allowed to enter Poland from Ukraine’s border. She also alleged that Indian students who were allowed a day before i.e Sunday were also sent back.
Madam, this is absolutely not true. Polish government did not deny anyone to enter from the border with Ukraine.
Please check your sources.
Please do not spread #FakeNews

Upon this, Adam Burakowski, Ambassador of Poland to India refuted her claims, saying that the Polish government did not deny entry to anyone and asked her to check her sources. What netizens noticed is that the Ambassador took a dig at her by asking her not to spread fake news.
Dear Madam, I am absolutely sure that it did not happen. The list with contacts could not be shared here please share them with @IndiainPoland, because they are coordinating it and they can help those people.
We are in constant contact with H.E. Nagma Mallick @IndiainPoland— Adam Burakowski (@Adam_Burakowski) February 28, 2022
Ambassador’s reply irked the Shiv Sena MP, lashing out at the Ambassador she went to share the details of some students who allegedly made the claim. While assuring her that no Indians were denied entry by the Polish government, he urged Chaturvedi to share the details with the Poland Embassy in India. He asked her to message the details, which was blatantly refused by Chaturvedi.
Priyanka Chaturvedi’s not a call for ‘help’
Chaturvedi may have been claiming that she cares for the stranded students, but this incident unveils her actual agenda ‘to be seen’. She insinuated the Ambassador of Poland, who is proving to be of much help in the evacuation process of the Indian Government. Later, the one who started this sensitive conversation on Twitter, Priyanka Chaturvedi herself advised moving to official communication channels.
No I won’t DM you, you just declared what I was requesting @IndiainPoland to help with as fake news, without seeking my response. My number and contact details are public & before you accuse have all the facts in hand.

Ambassador of Poland in one of his tweets gave out numbers, where he mentioned that over three lakh refugees had crossed the borders between Ukraine and Poland, and 1200 were Indians among them.
After being snubbed by Ambassador, now it’s the Embassy
After being snubbed by the Ambassador, Priyanka Chaturvedi did not stop, but she went to mock Indian Embassy in Poland, which backfired.
In her attempt to mock the Embassy she shared a clip from NDTV, with the motive to share the plight of a student stranded in Kyiv with the caption, “Hello @IndiainPoland another fake news for you to RT”.

Outraged by yesterday’s humiliation by the Ambassador, she directed the video of a girl stranded in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine to the Indian Embassy situated in Poland.

Now, the attempt to vilify the Indian Embassy in Poland boomeranged her, and she ended up with some geography lessons from the netizens, who were making her understand that the student is stranded in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, where as the Embassy is situated in Warsaw, Poland.
Madamji, Kiev is not in Poland. It's in a country called Ukraine.https://t.co/W6Bh38ldOX

The netizens were too worried seeing that a Rajya Sabha MP does not have the basic understanding that the Embassy could only help the Indian nationals once they reach the borders or enter into the boundary of the state.
