Recent US deportations of 104 Indian nationals have sparked controversy due to claims of mistreatment during transit. The immigrants were reportedly handcuffed and had their legs chained for approximately 40 hours on a military aircraft.
Protests in India have emerged, demanding dignity for Indian citizens. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has engaged with the US to ensure the deportees were not mistreated.
External affairs minister S Jaishankar addressed the deportation of Indian nationals allegedly living illegally in the United States in both the Houses – Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha – on Thursday, calling it a “standard procedure” by the country. Jaishankar said, “We are, of course, in talks with the US government to ensure that the deported individuals are not mistreated in any way during their flight.”
