Chib and PYC president Mohit Mohindra interacts with deported youth, extends legal aid, political and moral support
CHANDIGARH: Indian Youth Congress (IYC) president Uday Bhanu Chib today demanded rehabilitation and compensation for the youth deported from USA and condemned the BJP led center government and AAP government in Punjab for adopting inhuman approach towards deportees.
Accompanied by AICC Secretary Pardeep Narwal and Punjab Youth Congress president Mohit Mohindra, Chib interacted with the deported youth and listened to their grievances here at Congress Bhawan. He said that every person deported from USA had panful tails to tell. They were looted, tortured, kidnapped on the way. They were humiliated by US government and the Indian government added salt to their wounds.
He said that Prime Minister Narender Modi who was on visit to USA was laughing when US president Trump was insulting him on imposing tariff. Prime Minister had failed to raise the issue of inhuman treatment given to deported youth by USA. Narender Modi has no right to continue as Prime Minister after insult of Indian youth. He said that BJP leaders like Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar justified the handcuffing of youth, saying, they deserved it because they went illegally. He described it a shameful conduct by Khattar.
Chib said that "The insult of our youth was insult of the nation". He further said that President of Colombia had objected to ill treatment for deportees of his country and sent his airplane to get them back. The people deported to Nepal were not handcuffed and shackled as it was done in case of India.
IYC president said that if Prime Minister could waive off 15000 lakh crore of loans of corporate houses mainly the Adani and Ambani groups, why center can't compensate the deported youth who fell prey to illegal agents. He said that deported youth was not at fault because they attempted to migrate due to domestic situation. Venter and Punjab governments failed to create enough jobs and maintain quality of life for common citizens.
Chib further stated that deported youth told him that AAP government in state was not helping them in anyway. FIR was registered against agents in some cases but pressure is built on the complainant not to follow up cases. He said that even FIRs were not registered in many cases. He assured the deported youth and their families the youth congress would stand behind them like a rock.
Mohit Mohindra said that issue of youth deported from USA was major diplomatic failure. He questioned the role of Punjab government. He stated that deportees told them that nobody from center and Punjab government visited them so far. He said that Youth Congress would fight for the cause of deported youth. He said that about 800 immigration agents were operating illegally in Punjab without any office.
