PIB Clarifies Misleading Image of Indian Migrants
The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has addressed a misleading image circulating on social media. The image falsely claimed to show Indian migrants being deported from the United States in handcuffs and chains. However, PIB clarified that the image actually depicted individuals deported to Guatemala, not India.
Deportation of Indian Nationals
On February 5, a US military aircraft landed in Amritsar, Punjab, carrying 104 Indian nationals who were allegedly living illegally in the US. Some of these individuals also arrived at Ahmedabad airport in Gujarat. Punjab NRI Affairs Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the deportation issue with US President Donald Trump, emphasizing their friendship as a means to find a solution.
Minister's Statement
Minister Dhaliwal stated, "Modiji calls Trump his friend. I request PM Modi ji to speak to Trump to find a solution to this issue....104 Indians deported from the US arrived at Amritsar today. Of 104 persons, around 30 people are from Punjab. All of them are in good health condition."
