Chandigarh(Punjab):Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Tuesday said he was "relieved" after Pakistan announced that a Sikh girl, who was abducted, forcibly converted and married to a Muslim man, was free to return her home in Pakistan.
"Relieved that Jagjit Kaur has returned to her family in Nankana Sahib. I thank everyone who lent their voice to Jagjit Kaur & ensured that the wrong that was committed against our daughter has been corrected. Such forced conversions have no place in a civilized world and must stop," Singh said.
His comments came hours after Governor of Pakistan's Punjab province, Mohammad Sarwar, announced that families of the Sikh girl and the Muslim boy have reached a compromise and the girl can return her home.
