Modi, along with other leaders, expressed their admiration for Machchhar, who saved hundreds of lives by unlocking the cockpit door despite being stabbed by the alleged attacker. The Indian Mission in Saudi Arabia is closely monitoring the pilot's health, and his former employer, SpiceJet, also praised his commitment to saving lives.",
