India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar defended the United States' deportation of illegal migrants, stating that deportations of Indian nationals have been ongoing for years. He highlighted that between 530 and 2,000 Indians were deported annually. Jaishankar assured that India is engaging with the US to ensure the deportees’ treatment remains humane, denying mistreatment of women and children. Opposition MPs criticized the inhumane conditions, referencing videos showing Indian deportees shackled and handcuffed. Calls were made for India to send aircraft to bring citizens back more humanely, echoing Colombia's actions in a similar case.
