New Delhi:
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar addressed the Rajya Sabha on Thursday during the budget session regarding the overseas Indians sent by the US. He said during this time that this action of Departation is not new. Even before today, those who were found living in any other country illegally, they were sent to their country. I want to make it clear from you that in connection with work, a citizen from one country to another plays an important role in the link of development of a particular country. We believe that if it is within the purview of the law, then it is right. We never support a citizen to enter any other country illegally. Whatever citizens have gone to any other country illegally, that country holds them according to their law and sends them back. This process is not new.
