The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
The way the deportation of 104 Indians who had illegally entered the United States was conducted by the US authorities is deplorable and unacceptable. These people were handcuffed with restricted mobility for a long journey in a US military aircraft.
The Modi government has shown a craven attitude by not objecting to such treatment of its citizens. Since more batches of Indians are expected to be deported, the government should ensure that they are treated in a humane and dignified manner.
