Modi couldn't muster courage to raise  deportees' issue with Trump: Dhaliwal

On deportation of Indians from the US, Minister for NRI Affairs Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal has said the US was constantly violating human rights by sending Indians in shackles, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi could not even muster the courage to raise the issue with US President Donald Trump during his recent to Washington.

Dhaliwal on Monday flayed the US security forces for removing their turbans and handcuffing them while emplaning the deportees on the third flight which landed on Sunday night.

He said the foreign policy of the Central Government proved to be a failure and despite constantly raising this issue, the Indian ministry of External Affairs has not been able to take it up with their counterparts in the US. He said if these illegally living people had to be brought back, the government could have brought them back in its own aircraft and there was no need to create panic in the country by bringing them back through a US military aircraft.
