Up to 104 Indians who lived illegally in the states of Unitos were deported to India in the military aircraft C-17 Globemaster III who landed in Amritssar earlier this week.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri responded on Friday to a media consultation on the use of military aircraft for deportation saying that, according to the administration of the United States, deportation was classified as a national security operation. As a result, a military plane was used instead of commercial flights.

“This particular deportation is something different compared to the previous flights. In the American system itself, it was described as a national security operation, so maybe they used a military plane, “said Misri while informing the media.
India has also expressed concern to the United States regarding the treatment of deported Indian immigrants. Mea said that the “abuse of the deportees” is “valid” and emphasized that they will continue to address any case of abuse that attracts their attention.
