‘Help 350 youths stuck in Malaysia’
Muktsar, June 21
Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Saturday urged External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to take up the issue of repatriation of more than 350 Punjabi youths, who were languishing in Malaysian jails, even after completion of their sentences.
The family members of the youths met Harsimrat at Badal village and told her that their kin were detained in Malaysia for staying illegally. They said travel agents took the youths to Malaysia on the pretext of providing them employment.
Harsimrat also had a word with the Indian High Commissioner in Malaysia and asked him to help the youths in every possible way. — TNS
