Families of 39 missing Indians in Iraq met External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj along with MJ Akbar and (Retd) General VK Singh. The families were briefed that the missing Indians were currently detained in a prison in Badush. This is the twelfth meeting over the last three years for these families who hope that they get concrete news from the MEA. Many of these families last spoke to their loved ones on June 15th 2014 and since then the only information they have about them is through the MEA. The families have been waiting for three years now and they were expecting good news, but they are disappointed once again.
