Indian Embassy in Kabul not aware of Sushmita's return to Afghanistan says Khurshid
New Delhi: Expressing anguish over the murder of author-activist Sushmita Banerjee in Afghanistan, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid has said the Indian Embassy in Kabul was not aware of her last visit to that country
She was known for her fight on issues of women's emancipation and gender justice in Afghanistan.
“Banerjee had returned to Afghanistan eight months back to live with her husband. She was running a health clinic at the village of her husband in Paktika province.
“The Embassy of India in Kabul was not aware of her return to Afghanistan as she had not registered with them as Indian nationals are normally expected to do,” the Minister said in the letter to Ghosh who had raised the issue in Rajya Sabha in the last session.
