Indian nurses who were abducted have returned home today after being freed by ISIS militants in Iraq.
Congress leader, Rashid Alvi also told ANI, "I welcome all the Indians who have returned. The government should have understood the situation before it got worse. This questions their understanding. I am sure we can try hard and get the rest of them also back."
There were about 10,000 Indians in Iraq before the start of the strife between government troops and Sunni militants.
