Sushma meets families of Indians |
India`s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on July 16 met the families of 39 Indians who are missing in Iraq since 2014 along with Ministers of State for MEA MJ Akbar and Gen VK Singh (retd) in New Delhi. The day Iraq PM declared Mosul is liberated from ISIS, she asked VK Singh to go to Erbil. She added that the missing Indians are most probably in a jail in Badush where fighting is still going on. The meeting comes five days after V.K. Singh went to Iraq to get information on the missing Indians. The men are believed to have been abducted by Islamic State militants on June 11, 2014. Family members had been making several calls to MEA to know about the missing men. That appears to be the reason that the minister has apparently called a meeting to brief the family members collectively.
