Shashi Tharoor told PTI video on the occasion of Investing Karnataka Summit, ‘I hope that he (Modi) would have told Americans behind the closed doors that you cannot insult our people. You can send them back, they are illegal, we will think of them, they are from our country, but do not send them back by military aircraft in fetters and handcuffs … It is not right ‘….’
Lok Sabha member Shashi Tharoor said, ‘I hope that he (Modi) has called it behind the closed door. We do not know. A US military aircraft brought back 104 Indians living illegally in the US earlier this month.

In several reports, sources were quoted as saying that another Amritsar filled with Indian immigrants is reaching Amritsar.
