He said India is still in the process of verifying those people from the US who can be deported to India and the number of such persons cannot be determined yet.
“As a government, we are obviously big supporters of lawful movement (of people), because we believe in the global workforce,” Jaishankar told a group of Indian journalists here. We want Indian talent and Indian skills to get maximum opportunities at the global level. At the same time, we also strongly oppose illegal movement and illegal migration.” The global workforce refers to the international labor pool of workers, including foreign workers employed by multinational companies or working abroad, temporary migrant workers, Includes remote workers, people in export-related employment, contingent workforce and others.

This is with every country and America is no exception, we have always said that if any of our citizens is there illegally and if we feel that they are our citizens, we are always ready for their legal return to India. The minister was replying to a question about reports that India was working with the Donald Trump administration on the return of about 1,80,000 Indians to the US who either had or had no documents. or they have expired their visa Still living there after.
Verification required before removal
Jaishankar said that he has talked to Foreign Minister Marco Rubio about this. He also said, “If there is a 400-day waiting period to get a visa, I don’t think it will be good for relations. He (Rubio) also paid attention to this point. Jaishankar said, “I have seen the figures. For us this is not just a figure. This will be effective only if we can actually verify the fact that the person concerned is of Indian origin. (Language)
