Women, Children Not Shackled During Last Two Deportations From US: Centre
Women and children, who were among 228 illegal Indians migrants deported from the United States in two batches last week, were not restrained during the flights, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Friday.
The remarks came as visuals of the first batch of deportees, who arrived in India on February 5, being shackled throughout the journey triggered a massive political storm in India, and even led to an uproar in both Houses of Parliament during the then ongoing Budget session.
