Indore: Geeta, who accidentally crossed over to Pakistan as a child and returned to India on Monday, today sung the national anthem in sign language.
The 23-year-old, who is hearing and speech impaired, is staying at the residential premises of an NGO which runs an institute for the differently-abled people.
"Geeta presented the national anthem with sign language with other students. This is for the first time that she presented the Jana Gana Mana," the institute's sign language head Monika Punjabi Verma said.
"Our priority is to make Geeta adjust in the new environment as soon as possible. Thereafter we will facilitate her education, including the professional training, to economically empower her.
"Alicia Sort Leal, a psychologist from Barcelona (Spain) is camping at the institute. Alicia' help will be sought for Geeta," she said.
Ms Verma dismissed the news report that Geeta was unwell, saying she was tired after a long journey, but recovered after the rest.
Geeta, who had accidentally landed in Pakistan over a decade ago, returned to India on October 26. She was reportedly just 7 or 8 years old when she was found sitting alone on the Samjhauta Express by the Pakistan Rangers 15 years ago at the Lahore railway station.
She was then adopted by the Edhi Foundation's BilquisEdhi. Her story came to light after the release of Salman Khan-starrer 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' in which the hero unites a Pakistani girl with her mother.
