Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has informed the media that the Indian government has raised objections regarding the United States’ deportation of illegal Indian immigrants in handcuffs, emphasizing the sensitivity of the issue and the government’s commitment to resolving it through dialogue.Speaking to reporters at the Kushabhau Thakre International Convention Centre (Minto Hall) in Bhopal on Sunday, Khattar highlighted past instances of the US deporting illegal Indian immigrants but noted that the recent method of deportation was particularly concerning. “This time, the approach was objectionable, and the government will take it up for further discussion,” stated the Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs.

He explained that deportation procedures are sensitive and that the circumstances surrounding how, when, and in what manner individuals are deported are important considerations. Khattar described illegal immigration as a serious issue, urging individuals not to enter foreign countries unlawfully.

“Whether our nationals go abroad or foreigners arrive here, deportation is a common action taken by countries in such scenarios. India has also deported several individuals from Assam,” he noted.

The recent deportation incident has sparked outrage, particularly due to the fact that illegal Indian immigrants were handcuffed during their 40-hour flight aboard a military aircraft to India. The US military plane, carrying 104 illegal Indian immigrants, arrived in Amritsar on February 5. On Friday, the Indian government officially expressed its concerns to the US about the deportation practices, stating that such treatment could have been avoided.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
