BJP extends support to family of youth stranded in Iraq

Tandon says that while he made several attempts to contact Singh, who is hiding in Basra, Iraq, he could not be contacted. The cell phone through which Singh had initially contacted his family, belonged to another youth, Ravi, from Nawanshahr.

Tandon informed that Ravi had said that all of them were hiding in the old palace of Saddam Hussein, and were safe. Tandon said that he had talked to Union External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj regarding the issue, and had made requests for the government to speed up the process of bringing Singh back to his home country, along with other Indians.
