India Condemns Treatment of Deportees as Modi Prepares for U.S. Visit

Images of Indian nationals deported from the U.S. in restraints spark backlash, prompting calls for diplomatic action ahead of Modi-Trump meeting.

A U.S. military aircraft deported 104 Indian nationals to Amritsar, where they arrived in handcuffs and leg restraints, sparking outrage in India.
Indian opposition leaders criticized the deportation process as inhumane, with protests staged in Parliament and on social media.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor urged the Indian government to address the issue diplomatically with the U.S. to prevent future mistreatment of deportees.
Union Minister JP Nadda defended the government's response, noting that the use of restraints during deportations has been part of U.S. standard procedures since 2012.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to meet President Donald Trump during his U.S. visit this week, where the deportation issue may be discussed.
