Shocking: MEA on abduction of envoy’s daughter

NEW DELHI, JULY 22

India on Thursday said the recent abduction of the Afghan envoy’s daughter in Islamabad was a “shocking incident”.

This involves two other countries — Afghanistan and Pakistan, and usually the Foreign Office does not comment on it. “However, since the Interior Minister of Pakistan has dragged India into it, I would only like to say that even by their standards, Pakistan’s denial of the victim’s account is stooping to a new low,” said the MEA spokesperson. — TNS
