The Centre must immediately come clean on what concrete steps it is taking to free the 39 Indians who were abducted by ISIS in the Iraqi city of Mosul in 2014, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said on Saturday.
AAP leader Ashutosh said latest media reports “expose” the claims of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) that these innocent workers were in a prison near Mosul, a city which was recaptured from the ISIS earlier this month.
“Since no structure exists there now, it is an extremely serious matter and amounts to their families and the country having been clearly misled,” Ashutosh said.

“The AAP demands a categorical statement from the Centre about the factual status of these innocent workers,” said Ashutosh, whose party is a principal opposition in Punjab.
