Esha Gupta has just penned an open letter to Narendra
Modi and it has got nothing to do with Bollywood. Esha has reached out to the
PM and Minister Of External Affairs, Sushma Swaraj, requesting help for the
Indians stuck in Saint Marteen island in the Caribbean, which has been
devastated by Hurricane Irma.
The actress shared the post on her Twitter account today. She tweeted: @SushmaSwaraj @narendramodi.

Request for evacuation of Indians from the life threating island. Sushma Swaraj
Dear Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
I am writing to you on behalf of thousands of Indians to
request the Indian government and Indian Embassy to urgently intensify efforts
to protect the thousands of Indian families who are badly stuck in the life
threatening situation and are forced to face the armed rebellion by the locals
and give up their lives on the island of Saint Marteen which has been
completely devastated by the wrath of Hurricane Irma.
Post the enormous destruction caused by Hurricane Irma,
the entire island is being looted by the locals. Adding to the same, the local
people have robbed the arms and ammunitions from the customs house and are on
door to door spree to loot the Indian families, rape our Indian women and kill
our kids. There is no enough help from the local security to save the lives of
many Indians on the island from the ferocity of locals.
We fully recognize that the government has had to
cope with multiple, profound crises in a short period of time but as the number
of people forced from their homes continues to grow, so also does the urgency
of evacuating our Indian families.
We have also learnt that the United states
government has already allotted their military planes to evacuate the Americans
from the island.Also if we can request United states government to help in
evacuation of our families too.We request you to please look into the matter
urgently and please save the lives of our nationals.
Looking for positive and prompt response.”
Kudos to Esha for speaking up for the people who have
lost everything in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma!
