Meanwhile, Union Minister of State for Labour Bandaru Dattatreya met the Union Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj and urged her to see that the two abducted Telugus were released by the IS militants at the earliest in Libya.
While thanking Ms. Sushma for getting two other Indians released, Mr. Dattatreya urged her to see that the other two were also let off. Following the plea, Ms. Sushma telephoned the Indian Ambassador to Libya and directed him to make all out efforts to secure the safe release of the abducted teachers.
