The only poll promise which Fatima Nafees, mother of missing JNU student Najeeb Ahmad, is looking forward is the one which assures of bringing her son back.

Nafees, a resident of Badaun in Uttar Pradesh which goes to poll on April 23, says representatives of various parties visit her house but they only express "sympathy".

"I am not looking for those who sympathise with me. I am only looking for those who will assure me that they will bring my son back. That is what I tell representatives of various parties who visit our house. I will cast my vote only for the party which assures me that," she told PTI.

Najeeb Ahmed, a first-year MSc student of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) went went missing in 2016 after an altercation with students on campus and has not been traced till date.

"The Central Bureau of Investigation had last October closed the case after the agency failed to trace him after a long search.

"My son's disappearance has forced me to renegotiate life with Allah, what are political parties then. What is CBI, what are intelligence agencies for if they cannot trace an innocent child what will they do for country's security?
