At a press conference, BJP national spokesperson Ajay Alok said the ministry of external affairs is already looking into the matter. “And, India has duly placed its stand also on the issue,” he told reporters.
“We are surprised to see that such things also happen….TheInternational Court of Justice is there. I think the government of India will place its stand and we will definitely succeed in bringing them back from there,” Alok added.
The eight former Indian Navy personnel, who worked with private company Al Dahra, were arrested in August last year reportedly in an alleged case of espionage.
The MEA said it will continue to extend all consular and legal assistance to the Indians. “We attach high importance to this case. We will also take up the verdict with Qatari authorities,” it said in a statement.
