Geeta At Indore Institute

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has assured Geeta, the hearing and speech impaired girl who returned to India in October this year after being stranded in Pakistan for over a decade, that the government is trying hard to locate the whereabouts of her parents.

A 40-year-old woman from Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur today claimed herself to be the mother of Geeta, the deaf and mute girl, who accidentally crossed over to Pakistan as a child and had returned to India on October 26.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today said that two more families have claimed Geeta, a hearing and speech impaired girl who returned from Pakistan last month, to be their daughter but she has refused to identify one of them on the basis of their photographs.

The district administration has said that they will send the application of a couple, claiming to be the parents of Geeta, the hearing and speech impaired girl who returned to India from Pakistan recently, to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for further assistance.

The government has set the ball rolling for repatriating a 15-year-old Pakistani boy, Ramzan, stuck here for more than two years in a story resembling that of Geeta, the hearing and speech impaired girl who returned home from the neighbouring country last week after over a decade-long separation from her family.

Another family in a remote village of Uttar Pradesh's Aligarh district on Wednesday claimed that Geeta, who returned from Pakistan after being separated from her parents over a decade ago, is their daughter.

Geeta, who accidentally crossed over to Pakistan as a child and returned to India on Monday, today sung the national anthem in sign language.

A day after returning from Pakistan, Geeta, the deaf and mute girl, left for Indore where she will stay at an institution for hearing-impaired people till her family was located by the government.
