Ashok Gehlot Urges Action to Bring Back Satish Kumar’s Body from China
Former Rajasthan Chief Minister and senior Congress leader, Ashok Gehlot, has urged the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to take immediate action to repatriate the mortal remains of Satish Kumar, an Indian national who was allegedly abducted and murdered in China.
Satish Kumar, a native of Rajasthan’s Jalore district, died in China on June 25. In a post on X, Gehlot stated, “Mr Satish Kumar from Bhinmal, Jalore, was kidnapped and murdered in China on June 25.”
Gehlot also mentioned that he had previously reached out to External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar twice, requesting assistance in bringing Kumar’s body back to India, but without success. He renewed his appeal, urging that “necessary steps” be taken to ensure that Kumar’s remains are returned to India for the performance of his last rites.
“I again appeal to Shri @DrSJaishankar and the Ministry of External Affairs to take the necessary steps to bring the mortal remains of the late Shri Satish Kumar to India so that the last rites can be performed gracefully,” Gehlot said in his post.
