"It is now known that the US army will withdraw from Afghanistan on September 11. Thus, it will become the stronghold of Taliban and my daughter will get killed," she expressed her fears.

Bindu said those who converted Nimisha are still doing their conversion processes and the government had not taken any action against them. She also said, she will meet Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan seeking the state government's intervention to bring back Nimisha Fathima to India.
