Congress Voices Concern Over Treatment of Indians in the US
Recently, Congress leaders expressed their dismay over images depicting Indians being handcuffed and humiliated during deportation from the United States. Pawan Khera, a prominent Congress spokesperson, stated, “Looking at photos of Indians getting handcuffed while being deported saddens me as an Indian.”
Historical Context: UPA’s Response
The Congress party recalled the incident in 2013 involving Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade, who was handcuffed and strip-searched in the US. The Indian government at the time, under the UPA administration, strongly retaliated, leading to the US expressing regret over Khobragade’s treatment.
The Current Situation
With these recent deportation images, the Congress party has raised questions about the treatment of Indians abroad, urging the government to take a stand. Such incidents not only reflect on the individuals involved but also impact the perception of Indian citizens globally.
