Hope Pakistan delivers on promises made to United States on terror
A deaf and mute Indian woman who accidently strayed into Pakistan as a child 12 years ago arrived in New Delhi on Monday hoping to be reunited with her family, beaming as she was greeted at the airport by scores of well-wishers. “She was very happy over it”.
The Ministry of External Affairs on Friday said the Centre hopes Pakistan delivers on the promises it has made to tackle terror groups including the Lashkar-e-Taiba, said a Times of India report. MEA Spokesperson, Vikas Swarup sad, “Geeta has already identified one family as possibly being that of her parents, we will be doing the DNA testing to establish conclusive proof if the DNA test match Geeta would be handed over to the family”.
She will be accompanied by five officials from charitable Edhi Foundation which had been looking after her. “Geeta will come back to India on October 26”.
Geeta, a young Hindu woman now in her early 20s, was around 11 years old when she inadvertently crossed the border from India to Pakistan, a mistake that sparked an odyssey to find her family. He said that Pakistan wants complete peace at the Working Boundary and the Line of Control (LoC).
The Salman Khan starrer Bajrangi Bhaijaan was released on July 17. She was spotted by the Pakistan Rangers at the Lahore railway station during that time.
In addition to the family in the pictures that Geeta identified, Indian media have reported that another man is claiming to be Geeta’s father. “If not, we have identified suitable institutions where she will be looked after”, he said.
Geetha’s family reportedly lives in Bihar.
