Indians who have gone to America (US) illegally are being caught and deported. In such a situation, not one but two American planes are coming with the deported Indians. One plane will land at Amritsar airport today i.e. on Saturday. The second plane will arrive on Sunday (16 February). Most of the people in these two planes are from Punjab.
On the other hand, a day earlier, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had objected to the landing of the American plane in Amritsar carrying Indians deported from the US. Mann said that the central government has allowed the American plane to land at Amritsar airport to defame Punjab. Politics has heated up on this statement of the CM. Leaders of the opposition party are busy criticizing the CM on this statement.
This time more Indians are returning after being deported from the US than before. On January 15 (Saturday), an American Army plane is coming with 119 Indians. The plane will land at Amritsar airport in Punjab at 10 pm. However, everyone’s eyes will be on this deportation. In this deportation too, one question on people’s lips will be whether the deported people will be seen in handcuffs and shackles again.
Two flights will land at Amritsar airport on 15th and 16th February. The flight that will arrive from America at 10 pm on 15th January will have 119 Indians on board. The maximum number of people in this flight, 67, are from Punjab. Among them, the maximum number of people are 11 from Gurdaspur, 10 from Kapurthala, 10 from Hoshiarpur and 7 from Amritsar.
On the other hand, in the second flight, 33 people are from Haryana, 30 from Punjab, 8 from Gujarat, 3 from Uttar Pradesh, 2 from Goa, 2 each from Maharashtra and Rajasthan and apart from this, one person will be from Himachal and one person will be from Jammu and Kashmir. There are 6 people from Gurdaspur in Punjab, 4 each from Jalandhar and Amritsar. So many people from districts of Punjab in the plane of 15 February

Immigration has become the biggest industry in Punjab
Punjab BJP Vice President on Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s statement Fatehjung Singh Bajwa said that out of those who have been deported so far, 67 are from Punjab and the rest are from other states. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is defaming his own state by politicizing this issue. What action has the AAP government taken against those people (agents) who are sending these youth abroad illegally. These people are sending children to other countries by charging huge amounts. Immigration has become the biggest industry in Punjab. What action has been taken against illegal immigration centers. Bajwa said that this issue should not be given a political color. Punjab’s families are already under mental pressure. When these people were going abroad, nothing was done and now the Chief Minister is making it a political issue. They went abroad due to unemployment. What has the Punjab government done for employment, no industry is coming to Punjab and investing. The Chief Minister should rehabilitate these people and give them loans to start startups.
Bhagwant Mann should not ask questions but should answer them
BJP national spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill has reacted sharply to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s statement on the flight of illegal Indian immigrants coming from America to Amritsar. He said that the Punjabis being deported from America are victims of fraudulent agents and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government which has failed in Punjab. Bhagwant Mann does not have the right to ask questions but he should answer them today. He should tell why the youth of Punjab are leaving Punjab? Is the reason for this that the AAP government has failed miserably in generating employment? Shergill said that what action did Bhagwant Mann take against those fraudulent agents who are misleading the youth of Punjab and looting them? The Chief Minister should focus on bringing back the lost glory of Punjab instead of unnecessarily creating controversy and sensationalizing the issue.
The people of Punjab are financially strong, they like to go abroad
Punjab Congress MP Gurjit Singh Aujla says that what Bhagwant Mann said was just to make headlines. It had no meaning. This flight should have landed in Delhi. There is no defamation of Punjab. There are a large number of NRIs in Punjab, who contribute a lot to our economy. Punjabis are living a happy life abroad. What are the governments doing to stop this large-scale migration? What has the state government done to provide employment to the people? What is the law and order situation in the state? Because the people of Punjab are financially strong, they prefer to go to the US. A large number of Indians have also gone to Europe and UAE. This shows the condition of our country. The BJP and AAP government should pay attention to this.
