Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs from Punjab on Friday met officials of the Union Ministry of External Affairs, urging them to ensure the safe return of two Punjabi women "trapped" in Australia and Kuwait.
Legislators Kultar Singh Sandhwan and Jai Kishan Singh Rori met Under Secretary GD Pande and other officials in New Delhi, urging them to facilitate their release and safe return.
They said that young boys and girls of the State were opting for greener pastures on the foreign shores due to wrong policies of the state and Union governments. They said that unscrupulous travel agents were running the nefarious trade in the state.
Sandhwan demanded the government should have zero tolerance when it came to acting against travel agents who were managing their business by fraudulently arranging fake visas to trap innocent youth.
