What matters is whether someone bothered to find why our MEA has to take care of these things personally. Was anyone at the Ministry or High Commission fired for not responding to these pleas earlier? And in case all these recent cases were not referred through proper channels, is there any visible campaign to raise awareness amongst expats as to who they should approach in such situation?
Without that, the motive is quite clear.
MEA does not have to give priority to this particular woman. She is just another statistics for the MEA and the Indian mission in pakistan. She is hardly the first one to have problems in pakistan and she is in a mess of her own making. Its not the MEA's job compensate for her stupidity.
1. She should have verified his nationality before marrying him. (maybe she did and is now lying to save her own @ss)
2. She should have come back to India when she discovered her husband is a pakistani.
3. She should have renewed her Indian passport and not let it lapse.
4. She should have found some job in pakistan to sustain herself.
5. She should have found local support and earned good will that would have helped her escape an abusive husband.
6. She should have asked her parents for money and escaped into India with her kids before things went out of hand
7. She should have approached the courts.
She is lucky that she has Modi for PM and SS for FM, leaders who take a more humanitarian approach to issues.
The only motive I can see is a deep desire to help Indians. But your views and "motive" on the other hand seems far more sinister.
