Khushal Khajuria made a promise to his brother to set him free, something which he is trying to do everyday single day the last nine months. He and Mulkraj have been struggling to release their eldest sibling NK Sharma, an engineer on MV Suez, who was held captive by Somalian pirates in August last year. Ever since, its been tireless battle to see him again.
Khushal Khajuria said, "He has told me that torture is actually something we can not bear anymore. If the government cannot do anything tell them to throw a bomb and kill us and even kill the pirates."
Both brothers say they have been camping in Delhi for over three months to get some response for the government, but like rest of the families they have only been disappointed
"There seems to be no way out with the government. When we call the ambassador, he doesn't even talk to us directly," adds Mulkraj.
MV Suez has 22 crew members including, eleven Egyptians, six Indians and four Pakistanis. Now the families from both India and Pakistan will join hands to take this fight forward.
Khushal Khajuria, "I have been talking to families in Egypt and Pakistan. I am in regular touch with families in Pakistan and we all will take it forward together now."
For the last nine months, there has been little progress on this issue and even of the families say the government and nation have disowned their own people, but their personal battles will go on.
