New Delhi, Dec 27 (IBNS): India's External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said that she'll spare no efforts to get the abducted Father Tom Uzhunnalil released.

In a three-part tweet, Swaraj said, "I have seen the video from Fr Tom. He is an Indian citizen and the life of every Indian is most precious for us."

"We got Fr Alex Prem Kumar and Judith D'Souza released from Afghanistan," he tweet added.

"We have spared no effort and we will spare no effort to secure Fr Tom's release from captivity," it read.

Father Tom Uzhunnalil was abducted by the Islamic State from Yemen in March, earlier this year.
