CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: A second flight carrying Indian migrants deported from the United States is set to land in Amritsar today, triggering a political face-off between Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and the BJP. The controversy erupted after Mann questioned why Amritsar was chosen as the landing destination, implying a targeted move affecting Punjabis. BJP leaders countered, stating that deportation flights follow procedural decisions and are not politically motivated.
This development follows the recent return of a similar flight, bringing back individuals who attempted illegal entry into the US. The issue has sparked debates on illegal immigration, diplomatic agreements, and the plight of those seeking a better life abroad.
Mann has accused the BJP-led central government of neglecting Punjab and unfairly associating it with illegal migration concerns. In contrast, BJP leaders argue that law enforcement is acting under international agreements, ensuring safe repatriation.
As the flight arrives, families of returnees are anxious, while political tensions continue to rise. The incident raises broader questions about India’s immigration policies, border control measures, and international cooperation on deportation matters.
