The Aam Aadmi Party and Congress have accused the Centre of mistreating Punjab by allowing a US plane carrying deported Indian immigrants to land in Amritsar instead of Delhi. They criticized the government's lack of protest and the inhumane treatment of deportees,

A US deportation flight carrying about 100 Indian nationals accused of entering the country illegally has landed in the state of Punjab. The military aircraft, which left Texas late on Tuesday, is now in the city of Amritsar where authorities say they have put measures in place to process the deportees.

At least 104 Indian citizens were deported from the United States Tuesday night on a military aircraft, according to officials from India’s Punjab state, as US President Donald Trump makes stemming migration a top priority.
