Chennai:
Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa Thursday sought the personal intervention of
PM Narendra Modi in securing the release of the abducted Indian Jesuit aid
worker from Herat in Afghanistan.
Noting that Father Alexis
Premkumar was on a “humanitarian mission” in Afghanistan when he was kidnapped,
she said, “The incident has caused considerable anxiety to his family and
friends in Tamil Nadu”.
In a letter to Modi,
Jayalalithaa said Premkumar has a “stellar record” of having worked among
tribal women and children for their welfare.
“There is a fear that his
life may be in mortal danger. Hence I would be grateful if you could kindly
intervene personally and take up the matter at the highest level in
Afghanisthan so that the local authorities redouble their efforts to secure the
safe and early release of Alexis Premkumar," she said.
