The Ministry of External Affairs on Sunday announced financial reward for finding the parents of Geeta, the hearing-impaired girl who was brought back from Pakistan in 2015. In a televised appeal, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said that Geeta had reached Pakistan under unknown circumstances and urged her biological Indian parents to step forward to take her back.
“People from Bihar and Jharkhand should come forward to provide information about the Parents of Geeta if they know,” said Ms Swaraj in her televised message.
The Minister assured that the government would take care of future expenses of Geeta even after she is united with her Indian family. “We came to know two years ago that a daughter of India was in Pakistan and Edhi Foundation was looking after her. When we contacted her two years ago, she wrote her name as ‘Guddi,’” she said.
