Of those deported, 33 each are from Haryana and Gujarat, 30 from Punjab, three each from Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, and two from Chandigarh. Notably, the deportees were reportedly transported in shackles, a treatment that AAP leaders have strongly condemned as inhumane.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab has accused the central government of treating the state in a 바카라step-motherly바카라 manner after the US deported 104 illegal Indian immigrants. The deportation, which involved a US military aircraft landing at Amritsar바카라s Shri Guru Ramdas Ji International Airport on February 5, has sparked outrage among politicians across the country.
The AAP, along with Congress leaders, has raised concerns over the inhumane treatment of the deportees and questioned the government's silence on the issue.
Punjab AAP president and cabinet minister Aman Arora expressed discontent with the government바카라s treatment of Punjab, accusing the Centre of being indifferent to the state바카라s concerns.
바카라Deportees were from across the country. (Deportees) from other states were more than those from Punjab ... (but) it (plane) landed in Amritsar. I am not objecting to them coming here but by leaving the national capital and landing it (plane) in Amritsar ... there is substance in what you are saying,바카라 Arora stated.
Congress MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla, representing Amritsar, criticised the government for failing to protest the deportation process. 바카라Why didn바카라t the plane land in Delhi? Why was it allowed to land in Amritsar, a city with far fewer deportees?바카라 Aujla asked, adding that the treatment of these deported Indians was an affront to the nation's dignity
NRI Affairs Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal echoed similar sentiments, calling the deportation process a 바카라gross violation of human rights.바카라 He urged the central government to take up the matter with the United States, ensuring deported citizens are handed over to Indian embassies for safe return. Dhaliwal also stated that the deportation flight바카라s choice of Amritsar was 바카라politically motivated.바카라
The 104 deported individuals, which included 19 women and 13 minors, arrived on a US military plane at 1:55 PM on Wednesday. While the deportees hailed from several Indian states, including Haryana, Gujarat, and Punjab, the plane바카라s choice of Amritsar as its landing point has raised eyebrows.
Of those deported, 33 each are from Haryana and Gujarat, 30 from Punjab, three each from Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, and two from Chandigarh. Notably, the deportees were reportedly transported in shackles, a treatment that AAP leaders have strongly condemned as inhumane.
Congress MLA Pargat Singh claimed the incident was part of a broader strategy to protect the 바카라Gujarat Model바카라 and tarnish Punjab바카라s reputation. He added that the Centre had not granted permission for international flights to Punjab, depriving the state of potential economic benefits while orchestrating this negative portrayal.
Furthermore, AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang criticised the manner in which the deportees were treated, calling it 바카라inhumane.바카라 He pointed out the humiliation these individuals faced, having been deported like criminals despite their search for better opportunities abroad.
바카라Immigration is a global phenomenon. People migrate for work and better life prospects, but treating them like hardened criminals is shameful,바카라 Kang said, calling for accountability from the government.
He also questioned Prime Minister Modi바카라s stance on the issue and said 바카라Modi claims that Trump is his friend. Then why is he not raising this issue with him? Why is he allowing Indians to be treated in such an undignified manner as if they are criminals?바카라
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati also strongly reacted to the deportation. Yadav took to social media, accusing the Modi government of remaining silent in the face of the dehumanising treatment of Indians sent back from the US. He demanded to know why the government had failed to protect the deportees, especially women and children.
Mayawati echoed Yadav바카라s concerns, calling the deportation 바카라worse than prisoners바카라 and a stain on India바카라s national pride. She urged the central government to address the issue seriously to prevent future such incidents, warning that more deportations could follow as part of the US administration's crackdown on illegal immigration.
