Citing US estimates, he pointed out that there are 7,25,000 undocumented Indians in the US, with 24,000 currently in detention. Tewari questioned whether India would allow these individuals to be returned in degrading conditions, while External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar continues to travel the world attending «inane conferences.»
Sharing a post on X, Tewari wrote, «According to US estimates there are 7.25 lakh undocumented Indians in the United States of America. 24,000 Indians are in US detention camps. 487 have been served final detention orders. 298 out of the 487 have been positively identified as Indians.»
The post added, «Would 7.25 lakh Indians be dumped back in India handcuffed & shackled stripped of their basic human rights and dignity in US Military planes as while @DrSJaishankar trapezes around the world attending inane conferences?»
Earlier on Friday, Tewari had also expressed criticism over the statement made by Jaishankar in the Lok Sabha over the deportations of Indian nationals from the US and accused him of 'defending' the use of handcuffs and shackles by the Donald Trump administration, calling it «deeply shocking and acutely disturbing.»
