Kolkata, June 12 (IBNS): West Bengal Pradesh Congress President Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Sunday said the Central government should have been more proactive to secure the release of Judith D'Souza in Afghanistan.

Judith D'Souza, 40, who hails from Kolkata, is employed with the Aga Khan Development Network, an international NGO. She was kidnapped in Afghanistan's Kabul city on Thursday.

Adhir  said: "We have friendly relations with Afghanistan. The central government should be more proactive to secure the release of Judith and should put pressure on the Afghan government."

"I have sent a letter to the External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Prime Minister and National Security Adviser," he said.
