External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar is being asked to clarify whether the deportation of Indian immigrants living in the United States without proper documentation was discussed with President Donald Trump during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit. This issue has gained attention because of the potential impact on Indian citizens living abroad.
Concerns Raised Over Deportation Discussions
Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Saket Gokhale is seeking answers about the discussions. Gokhale voiced his concerns on X, noting that deportations of Indian immigrants from the U.S. continue to occur. This has led to questions about whether the Prime Minister addressed this issue with the U.S. President or if the concerns were not taken into consideration.
The ongoing deportations raise significant concerns. It’s a sensitive topic because many Indian individuals who moved to the U.S. without authorization have built lives and families there. Deportation can lead to considerable personal and financial hardship for those affected. Therefore, the Indian government has a responsibility to ensure fair treatment for its citizens, even those residing abroad without legal permission.
The Need for Transparency
Gokhale suggested that either Prime Minister Modi didn’t voice concerns about the “inhuman treatment” of deportees during his meeting with the U.S. President, or that his concerns were not addressed. This highlights the importance of clear communication in diplomatic interactions. Transparency is especially important when the discussions affect the welfare of Indian citizens living in other countries.
