The Indian government has communicated to the Parliament regarding its apprehensions over the use of restraints, such as shackles and handcuffs, on Indian deportees from the United States, with a particular focus on women. The US authorities have provided assurances that no women or children were subjected to restraints on the most recent deportation flights. Both governments have engaged in discussions to address concerns pertaining to the religious sensitivities and dietary requirements of the deportees. This development comes after the central government took a stand on the matter and sought clarification from the US officials. The assurance from the US regarding the humane treatment of Indian deportees, especially women and children, marks a positive step in bilateral relations between the two countries. The issue of restraints on deportees has been a subject of debate and scrutiny, and the recent dialogue between India and the US aims to ensure the dignity and respect of individuals being deported. The engagement between the two nations reflects a commitment to upholding human rights and addressing sensitive issues in a diplomatic manner.
