British officials : Jolly
New Delhi, 10th April 2013 : BJP National Committee Member & Convener
OFBJP Mr. Vijay Jolly today led a BJP delegation to meet Shri. Vayalar Ravi,
Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs. They drew the attention of Govt. of
India to the minor child custody case of a NRI couple in London. Mr. Jolly was
accompanied by OFBJP Central Committee Members Mr. Vijay Mehta & Dr.
Abhilasha Sharma. The BJP leaders expressed their deep shock over the reported
case of Master Achintya Rajat, aged five years and separated since 6th
March 2013 from the NRI couple in London Mrs. Shruti & Mr Rajat.
BJP Overseas
Affairs Leader Mr. Jolly pointed out to the Minister Mr. Ravi that it is more
than one month that Indian NRI couple in Oxford, UK have been denied custody of
their son. Mr. Jolly vociferously protested over the fact that neither the
Indian High Commission in London, neither Ministry of External Affairs &
neither Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs took notice of this case. They
failed to provide any help or counselor assistance to the beleaguered Indian
couple. Though the couple hold Indian Passports and are on a working British
visa.
On
BJP Leader Mr. Jolly’s request, Union Minister Mr. Ravi talked to the Indian
High Commissioner in London Dr. J. Bhagwati. The Minister also talked to the
parents in London and directed them to the IHC in UK.
Mr.
Jolly stated that the NRI couple today met their son in the custody of British
authorities. They noticed bruises on the arms of the child. Mrs. Shruti and Mr.
Rajat the NRI parents have alleged child abuse charges on the British officials
handling the physical custody of the child. They also told the Minister and BJP
Leader Mr. Jolly on phone that the Hindu religious locket in neck of the minor
child has been removed by the Britishers.
BJP
today demanded that Indian Govt. take immediate steps to restore the confidence
of the couple, provide legal & counselor access and unite the separated
minor child of the Indian parents in London.
Mr.
Jolly questioned Why The Indian High Commission in London did not take this
case seriously so as to provide necessary legal and social assistance to Indian
couple with Indian passports ?
