Unable to hold back her tears ever since knowing that her son Hamid Ansari, who is in a Pakistani Jail, was attacked, his mother Fauzia Ansari has been pleading to the government to do everything in its power to bring her son back. Hamid’s parents told that they came to know about the incident through Pakistani newspaper – Dawn and they know only what is published or what their lawyer tells them, as they have no direct contact with their son.
“There was a hearing at Pakistan Peshawar High Court on 2nd August and on 3rd August we came to know through Dawn Newspaper. Later our advocate also informed us that such an incident has happened with Hamid,” said Fauzia. “But our advocate who is also a social worker immediately reached there and talked to the authorities about Hamid’s security. He is doing is best he could to ensure Hamid’s security,” she added.
Expressing her inability to help her son, Fauzia said, “We are so shattered, we don’t know what do. We can only request the Indian government again and again that we are Indian citizens, Hamid is an India citizen and he has not committed any heinous crime. His mistake was to go there with fake documents and he has already suffered a lot for this.”
She added that it has already been four years that Hamid is in a Pakistani jail, even though he was only sentenced to three years imprisonment. “The time of three years is over and it has been four years now, so the Indian government without any further delay should bring its Indian citizen back,” said Fauzia.
