High-Level Discussions on US Deportation Policies
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the escalating issue of illegal Indian immigrants facing deportation from the United States. The meeting comes at a time when the Indian Parliament is witnessing intense protests from opposition parties, who have demanded a clear government stance on the matter.
Mass Deportation Raises Concerns
With stricter immigration policies being enforced by the US, thousands of Indian nationals are being sent back home, many of whom had sought asylum or overstayed their visas. This has sparked concerns among human rights activists and lawmakers, who are urging the government to ensure a humane repatriation process.
Government’s Response
Jaishankar assured that India is in dialogue with US authorities to address the welfare of affected individuals. The government is reportedly working on providing assistance to returnees and discussing potential policy revisions to prevent similar large-scale deportations in the future.
