But Swaraj — who had put up a strict front towards to Pakistan at the United Nations General Assembly further, making sure that they know that Kashmir belongs to India and will also remain so — in her response to the girl, proved that the bitterness between the two countries will further never come in the way of humanity. “Aliya – I was concerned about your well being kyonki betiyan to sabki sanjhi hoti hain” (I was concerned about your well being because one’s daughter is everyone’s daughter).

Back home, the girls’ parents and relatives are also afraid for their well-being, but they went ahead with their tour. “There is talk of war and tension, but we wanted to come here. Our families were shocked, scared. Friends even said ‘tell us your last wish’. I told them to turn the TV off and let us go,” Roohani Barkal, one of the girls, told media.
Reportedly, these parents of some of the girls told them that they would not return alive.
But the girls have reached home safe and sound, Aliya has tweeted this morning. This proves that no matter what, both the countries are going through, people from both the ends somewhere wants peace.
