Opposition members hindered a session of the Indian Parliament, where they questioned the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding its response to the alleged abuse of 104 of its citizens while deporting it from the United States.
The procedures were postponed in the lower and higher homes of Parliament on Thursday, when the lawmakers chanted slogans and called on the Modi government to address the deportation process, which was described as “insulting”.
In a notice to the Secretary -General of the Lower Report of Parliament, the opposition Congress party, Gorav Gojoy, described the deportation process as “insulting”, adding that it raises “serious concerns about their human dignity and rights.”
The deportation came a week before the US President Donald Trump is expected to meet in Moody, Washington, DC. Immigration is also expected to appear during Trump’s conversations with Moody.
On Wednesday, an American military plane carrying illegal immigrants landed in the holy city of Amritsar Sikh in Punjab, part of the mass deportation agenda set by Trump.
“Usbp (US Border patrol) and partners who have succeeded in returning illegal foreigners to India, which represents the farthest deportation journey after using military transport,” Michael Banks, head of USBP.
“If you cross illegally, you will be removed,” he said in The Post, who had a video clip showing that some men are leading to a military plane in the handcuffs and with their legs in the chains.
The Indian Express newspaper, which reported that all immigrants, with the exception of children, were formed during the trip, and quoted officials whose name was not revealed in the Punjab who said they had spoken to the deportees.
The press agency in India quoted one of the deportees, Jaspal Singh, saying that the deported handcuffs and the chains of the legs were not removed until after they landed in Amritsar.
Singh, 36, said they initially believed that they were being transferred to another camp in the United States.
“Then a police officer told us that we were transferred to India,” and quoted him as saying.
After the two departments arrived in India, they underwent other hours of checking at Amritsar Airport before the police accompanied them in small groups in police vehicles.
Some of the departments were transferred on a regular trip to Ahmed Abad in Googa State on Thursday, closer to their homes.
The Indian Foreign Minister responds
In response, Indian Foreign Minister Superhamaammaniam Gaeshanskar said that New Delhi is participating with the United States to ensure that the Indian immigrants are not documented while deporting them.
Jaishhankar told Parliament that the deportation of the US authorities was not a new process and allowed the use of restrictions on returning migrants to their countries of origin.
He added, “It is the commitment of all countries to restore their citizens if it is found that they live illegally abroad.”
Parliament Speaker Om Perla also tried to calm the opposition legislators, saying, “The foreign state also has its own rules and regulations.”
Outside of Parliament, opposition lawmakers, including the leader of Congress Rahul Gandhi, continued their protest as they demanded a cold from the Modi government. Some of them wore the handcuffs and carried the paintings that read: “Humans, not prisoners.”
Although Indian immigrants were deported by previous American administrations, it was the first time that Washington has used a military plane to do so.
India cooperated with the United States and said it is ready to accept the deported Indians after verification.
New Delhi says it is against undocumented migration, mainly because it is linked to several forms of organized crimes.
A spokesman for the American embassy in Delhi said that the enforcement of immigration laws was “very important” for public security and safety of the United States.
“The US policy is to implement immigration laws honestly against all unacceptable and removable foreigners,” the spokesman added.
A report of the Pew Research Center said that, as of 2022, India ranked third – after Mexico and El Salvador – in the list of countries with the largest number of uncomfortable immigrants – 725,000 – who live in the United States.
