In America, illegal immigrants are being deported to their countries on a large scale. In this sequence, America has also deported 104 illegal Indian immigrants in a military plane. On Wednesday, a plane full of illegal immigrants landed in Amritsar, Punjab. However, bringing these immigrants in handcuffs has created a big political uproar in India. Opposition parties also created a lot of ruckus in the Parliament on this issue. Now, India's Foreign Ministry has issued its statement on this entire matter on Friday. The Foreign Ministry has said that such behavior could have been avoided.

India expressed concern to America

On Friday, India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, in response to a question related to illegal immigrants being sent away in handcuffs, said that India has expressed its concern to the US on this issue. Misri said, "We have conveyed our concerns to the US that this type of behaviour can be avoided."

The handcuff policy has been in effect since 2012

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has also informed that the policy of sending back illegal immigrants in handcuffs has been in place in the US since 2012. On the question of whether India had lodged a protest in 2012, Misri said, "I don't think any protest was raised. We have no record of any objection."

America has identified 487 Indians

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has informed that the US has identified 487 Indian citizens for deportation and has shared the details of 298 people with India. The information is being verified. Vikram Misri further said that India has constantly stressed to the US officials that there should be no mistreatment of the migrants being sent. Misri said - "If any case of mistreatment comes to our attention, we will keep raising it."
