External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today said India is ready to grant visa to the parents of a 12-year-old boy who is believed to be from Pakistan and has been languishing in an observation home in Faridkot in Punjab after being apprehended by the BSF in May. In a series of tweets, she said that India was waiting for Pakistan to confirm the nationality of the boy. Her response came after Mehr Tarar, a Pakistani journalist, brought Swaraj's attention to the boy, Hammad Hassan, going missing from Pasur area in Pakistan's Sialkot a few month ago.
