A military aircraft from the United States has arrived in Amritsar, carrying 112 Indians who were deported for entering the country illegally. Among them are many people from Haryana, which has sparked a reaction from Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda. He blamed the Haryana government for failing to provide enough opportunities, forcing youth to leave through illegal routes like the “Donkey Route” (Dunki).
Hooda Blames Government Policies
Speaking to the media, Deepender Hooda said, “Many young people from Haryana were among those deported. This is the failure of the BJP government. Due to unemployment, drug issues, and crime, Haryana’s youth are forced to leave illegally. The number of deported youth from Haryana is the highest. The government has crossed all limits of insensitivity. These people were brought back in the middle of the night, chained like criminals.”
Government Sent Jail Vans – Hooda
Hooda further criticized the Haryana government for treating these deported individuals like criminals. He said, “The government is being insensitive. These people were brought back in the dark of night, wearing chains. Haryana even sent jail department vans to pick them up. The government should understand the pain of their families. These are our own people, and no one should be humiliated like this. Even if someone else’s child was in this situation, it wouldn’t be right to treat them this way. The government must show sympathy.”
Comparison with Ukraine Evacuation
Hooda also compared this situation to the evacuation of Indian students from Ukraine during the war. He tweeted, “During the Ukraine war, Indian students were welcomed at Delhi Airport. But now, why is the BJP government silently bringing back these youths in the middle of the night, chained like criminals? Their families are suffering, but the government does not care.”
During the Russia-Ukraine war, many Indian students were trapped in Ukraine. The government had organized special rescue missions and even gave them a grand welcome at the airport. Hooda questioned why the same treatment was not being given to those deported from the US.
