‘India’s daughter’ returns home from Pak; Sushma Swaraj welcomes her back

New Delhi/Lahore, May 25 : A young Indian woman, who said she was forced to marry a Pakistani man at gun point, on Thursday returned home via the Wagah Border with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj saying she felt “sorry for all that you have gone through”.
Describing Uzma Ahmad as “India’s daughter”, Swaraj welcomed her to India. “I am sorry for all that you have gone through,” she tweeted.
Uzma, who is in her early 20s, hails from New Delhi. She was allowed by the Islamabad High Court on Wednesday to return to India following a plea she filed with the court requesting its directive after her husband Tahir Ali took her immigration papers.
Accompanied by Indian mission officials and escorted by Pakistani police personnel, she crossed into India through the Wagah Border crossing near Amritsar.
“The Indian woman was happy and excited to leave for her homeland,” a Pakistan Rangers official told PTI. Media was not allowed to interact with Uzma.
