"Why Isn't India Sending Planes": Opposition vs Centre Over Deportation Row

Amid a massive political row over the deportation of over 100 Indian nationals from the United States, the Opposition is asking why the Centre did not intervene to bring them back on its terms. The deportees, many of whom had entered the US illegally, were reportedly shackled and handcuffed aboard a US military aircraft before landing in Amritsar yesterday. The Centre has defended its position, citing international obligations, but Opposition leaders have accused it of inaction and failing to protect Indian citizens from alleged mistreatment.
