Arif Rashid Zargar works in Saudi Arabia, living away from his wife and 5-month-old baby Ali.
He wished to see his child but 5-month-old Ali’s passport was stuck in red tape, with police verification still pending.
Any father would be desperate to see and meet his child of such a tender age and that is why he appealed to Sushma Swaraj to help his cause.
@SushmaSwaraj Maam my 5 month old baby's passport is pending since a month in PSKsgr due to police verification. 🙠need your magic advise.
