The Centre must immediately come clean on what concrete steps it is taking to free the 39 Indians from Punjab, who were abducted by the ISIS in the Iraqi city of Mosul in 2014, the AAP said today.
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 early 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 Aam Aadmi Party demands a categorical statement from the central government at the highest level about the factual status of these innocent workers," said Ashutosh, whose party is a principal opposition in Punjab.
