“The government kept us in the dark all these years," Sarwan, who belongs to Amritsar, claimed. Now after four years, they are making such a shocking statement, he agonised. “We met the Union minister (Swaraj) 11 to 12 times and were told that as per their sources, the missing Indians are alive. They have been saying that Harjit Masih, the lone survivor, is a liar. If your sources have been saying they were alive and now suddenly what happened. The government should have told us they have no information about missing Indians rather than making false statements," said Sarwan, who heard his brother’s voice over a phone call in 21 June 2014.
