Nitu case: AIDWA writes to Chidambaram

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The All-India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA) has impressed upon Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram to ensure that Nitu Singh — the deported scholarship student of the Film and Television Institute of India — returns from Kathmandu at the earliest so that she could complete her studies.

A memorandum submitted to Mr. Chidambaram said this was absolutely essential for her future welfare. It was significant that her parents, who were earlier opposed to her determination not to live with her husband, now fully supported her and were, in fact, helping her to obtain a divorce.

The memorandum said: “Unfortunately, the Pune police, instead of extending support to Nitu, succumbed to her husband’s machinations and, most shockingly, facilitated her deportation to Nepal, citing completely specious ‘reasons of national security’… We would request you to order an enquiry into the entire sordid affair and ensure that the guilty are given exemplary and swift punishment.”
