A Ukrainian plane that arrived in Afghanistan to evacuate the people of Ukraine has been hijacked and diverted to Iran by unidentified people who flew it into Iran, Russian news agency TASS reported on Tuesday citing the Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister Yevgeny Yenin.

The Minister also claimed that the hijackers were heavily armed.

The Ukrainian minister told the Russian news agency that the plane was hijacked by unidentified people last Sunday and flew into Iran with an unidentified group of passengers onboard instead of airlifting Ukrainians on Tuesday. The next three evacuation attempts were also not successful because the Ukranians in the flight could not get into the airport, he said.

The deputy minister did not confirmed anything about what happened to the plane or whether Kiev airport would seek to get it back or how the Ukrainian citizens got back from Kabul.

Abas Aslani, Spokesman for the Civil Aviation Organisation of Iran denied the claims and said that this plane came to Mashhad airport on Monday for refuelling and after refuelling, it left for Ukraine and arrived at Kiev airport at 09:50 pm.

However, the capitals Tehran and Kiev denied hijacking of any Ukrainian evacuation plane in Afghanistan, The Jerusalem Post reported.

Oleg Nikolenko, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry denied the report saying that there are no hijacking of Ukrainian plane in Kabul or elsewhere. The information that is being circulated by some media outlets about the hijacking of the Ukrainian plane, is not true, he said. He also clarified that Yenin was only generally explaining the unprecedented level of difficulties that diplomats had to face in evacuating Ukrainians.

Earlier the Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that seeing the development taking place in India, the people of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) will themselves demand to be reunited with India.  The Defence Minister had said that people should not worry. Pakistan Occupied Kashmir was, is and will remain a part of India.

Rajnath Singh was addressing a rally at West Bengal’s Darjeeling, where the BJP had nominated sitting MP Raju Bista. He said India’s power is increasing and India’s prestige is increasing around the world, and India’s growing economy is fast progressing. He added that India’s brothers and sisters in PoK will themselves demand to come with India.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Sunday said that POK is a part of India and added that there is a resolution of the Indian Parliament which states that PoK is part of the country. He further added that people were made to forget about Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, but it is now back in the consciousness of the people of India.

Jaishankar further asked how did other people get control of POK? He said one should remember that when one has someone who is not a responsible custodian of a house, someone steals from outside.
