AMN / NEW DELHI
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj slammed the Congress party for indulging in cheap politics over the death of 39 Indians in Mosul, Iraq.
Addressing a press conference in New Delhi last evening, Mrs Swaraj criticised the Congress for not allowing her to make statement in the Lok Sabha on the issue.
The Minister, in reply to a query, said the bodies of the Indian workers had been identified after matching their DNA.
She said the Indian Embassy in Iraq has been directed to make all arrangements to bring the bodies as early as possible.
Mrs Swaraj said the dead include 27 from Punjab, four from Himachal Pradesh, six from Bihar and two from West Bengal.
