Patiala, March 11

Of the four youths who returned from Iraq this morning, Amritpal Singh and Varinder Singh (hailing from Patiala district) visited MP Dharamvira Gandhi’s residence this morning along with their family members to thank the AAP leader for facilitating their return from that country.

As Gandhi was not available, they met his wife and thanked her for their support. They said they were living in pitiable conditions and had given up the hope of returning to India. They had been able to reunite with their families due to the efforts of Dharamvira Gandhi and Union External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.

Thirteen youths from Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan had contacted Gandhi and told him that they wanted to return to India. Gandhi met External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj many times to facilitate their return.
