Minister of State for External Affairs V K Singh, in a written response to a question in the Lok Sabha said the government has been making every effort to bring back fugitive criminals who have fled after committing crime.
Talking about India’s relationship with Pakistan Singh said that the country will not compromise on terrorism.
Addressing the Indian community at the Indian consulate in Dubai on Saturday evening, General Singh said no noise should be made if the French aerospace major Dassault Aviation did not find the state-run aerospace major Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) "useful enough".
" Did you expect any change from a man propped up by Army? Army (Pakistan Army) is still calling the shots"; VK Singh said.
The government has sent a request to the UK for extraditing fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi, who is wanted in the Rs 13,500 crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case
In his reply, Singh said approximately 8,000 are in Germany, but not in jail, 359 in the US and in detention, two in Denmark and in jail, two in Brazil and in jail, one in Finland, but not in jail.
Meanwhile, the wailing families of the deceased are waiting. Even though the day will bring closure to 38 families, it will be a difficult day as they prepare for the last rites.
Though 39 Indians were killed as the Islamic State took over the city of Mosul in 2014, the mortal remains of 38 will be brought back as identification of one body is still pending, Singh said before leaving.
