Uzma calls Pak "Maut ka Kua"; Sushma thanks Islamabad

New Delhi: Indian woman Uzma, who was forced by a Pakistani man to marry him at gunpoint, today described Pakistan as a "Maut ka Kua (well of death)" even as External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj lauded the role of the Pakistan foreign and home ministries for their "cooperation" in helping her return home. "Pakistan jana asan hae, wahan se wapas ana bahut hi mushkil...Pakistan ek maut ka kua hae (It is definitely much easier traveling to Pakistan, but much difficult to come back.

Pakistan is like a well of death)," Uzma told a press conference here in presence of Ms Swaraj. Speaking on the occasion, Ms Swaraj extended thanks to the ministries of foreign affairs and home in Pakistan and said, "Whatever be the relations between two countries as of now, but there cannot be denying the fact that both these ministries cooperated in ensuring Uzma's return to India."
