He said Machchhar's conduct and decision-making under extremely challenging circumstances reflected both professional excellence and a strong moral compass.
Gargash also urged caution against conspiracy theories surrounding the incident, stressing that vigilance remains essential in confronting the threats posed by extremism and terrorism.
يستحق الطيار الهندي في "فلاي دبي" سميت ماتشهار كل التقدير، فقد جسّد في مواجهة عمل ارهابي خطير وكارثة محتملة معنى الشجاعة والمسؤولية. مهنيته وحسّه الأخلاقي في أحلك الظروف يجعلان منه بطلاً حقيقياً.
