On Wednesday, a US military aircraft carrying over 100 Indian citizens who allegedly migrated to the US illegally landed in Amritsar. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor stated that while the US has the right to deport people who stay there illegally, the way they were deported was unnecessary. Tharoor emphasized that these individuals were not criminals and had no ill intentions. He suggested that the deportation could have been done in a more humane way, such as using a commercial or civilian flight instead of a military one. He also pointed out that more than 1,100 Indians were deported under the Biden administration in 2024.
