An aircraft with 119 illegal migrants from the US will land at Amritsar Airport on Saturday night. This will be the second time when Indians will be deported after Donald Trump took the oath of the US President last month.
Official sources said that the aircraft is expected to land at the airport at around 10 pm on Saturday night. Among those exiled are 67 from Punjab, 33 from Haryana, eight from Gujarat, three from Uttar Pradesh, two each from Goa, Maharashtra and Rajasthan and one each of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.
The third aircraft to bring deported people is expected to arrive on 16 February.
Earlier on February 5, a US military aircraft reached Amritsar with 104 “illegal migrants” from various states of India. The Trump administration had deported these people to India under action against illegal migrants.
Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday questioned the possibility of another aircraft coming to Amritsar Airport with “illegal” migrants. Mann accused the central government of defaming Punjab.
Mann told reporters in Amritsar on Friday evening, “The BJP -led central government always discriminates with Punjab. She leaves no chance to discredit the state. ”
He said, “Under a conspiracy, they are trying to discredit Punjab and Punjabis.”
