Government on Tuesday said it is keeping a close watch on the situation in violence-hit Libya where all Indians are safe.
"The situation is being closely-monitored by the
External Affairs Ministry and we are in constant touch with the Ambassador there. I am happy to inform that all Indians are safe in Libya," External Affairs Minister S M Krishna told reporters outside the Indian Parliament.
The Minister said the mission in Libya was in constant touch with Indian citizens there and "whatever needs to be done, will be done."
Libya is witnessing a volatile situation in the wake of unprecedented revolt against the 41-year rule of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Asked about the help being provided to workers there, Krishna said, "We don't differentiate between 'mazdoors and non-mazdoors' (labourers and non-labourers). Every Indian is precious to us."
Overseas Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi said, "A
committee has already been formed to monitor the situation in Libya and discussions are already on. We have assured our citizens there through our Ambassador that whenever any emergency arises, we will act."
