Geeta Still Couldn’t Find Parents, India Not Willing To Send Her Back To Pakistan

Sushma Swaraj said, "Geeta is the daughter of India. Even if she does not meet her family, she will never be sent back to Pakistan."

New Delhi (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 22nd November, 2018) Geeta, a hearing and speech impaired person who was brought to India from Pakistan three years ago, has still not found his parents.

Indian government has however said that Geeta would not be sent back to Pakistan.

Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said, "Geeta is the daughter of India. Even if she does not meet her family, she will never be sent back to Pakistan. The Indian government will foster her."

"I am also toiling to find her parents as she has attained marriageable age, and efforts are on to get her married," Swaraj added.

The Indian foreign minister said that the DNA tests were carried out on eight couples who had claimed that they were Geeta's parents but the efforts did not bear any fruit.

A centre has been given special responsibility of taking care of Geeta after she returned from Pakistan on October 26, 2015.

Pakistan Rangers had found Geeta, when she was 7-8 years old, on the Samjhauta Express that runs between the two countries.

She was taken care of by the Edhi Foundation in Pakistan.
