The Minister refuted the allegation that the government was misleading the nation on the issue. She said it would be a "sin" to announce the 39 Indians who went missing in June 2014 in Mosul as dead as long as there is any proof.

 

"We did not find any bodies, list, video or any photo. I thought we should at least search for them," she said.
