NEW DELHI: Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with US President Donald Trump, the Congress on Thursday asked if he would “summon up the courage” to convey India’s collective outrage at the “inhuman manner” in which Indian citizens were deported from that country.
Posing a series of questions to the prime minister, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh also asked if Modi would convey to the US president that India would send its own aircraft — like Venezuela and Colombia did — to bring back Indian deportees in the future.
“The prime minister will be first hugging and then meeting his ‘good friend’ President Trump at 2:30 am IST on the morning of February 14. India has already appeased the US president by slashing import duties on some farm produce and on Mr Trump’s favourite Harley-Davidson motorcycles,” Ramesh said in a post on X. PTI
