German Chancellor Scholz "closely following" Ariha Shah case, says Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri
Indian embassy is in touch with German officials regarding the Ariha Shah case and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar also raised the issue with his German counterpart, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said on Friday.
He further said that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also assured Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he is «closely following» the issue.
«The case of Ariha Shah who is in Germany under foster has been followed very closely by us at various levels. Our Embassy in Berlin has taken it up with the German side. When EAM was in Germany he raised it strongly with his counterpart. I can confirm it was raised during the meeting as well today,» Misri said addressing a press briefing on Friday.
«We have impressed upon the German side that an Indian child growing up in an environment which is not her religious, cultural and linguistic environment is not natural. The Chancellor assured the PM that he was closely following this issue. I am sure the two sides will remain in touch through ongoing multiple channels,» he added.
Ariha Shah is in foster care in Germany and India has said that it is important for her to be in her linguistic, cultural and social environment.
