In America, Donald Trump has started showing strictness against illegal migrants as soon as he became President. In this sequence, 104 Indians were deported and sent to India on Wednesday. This is the first batch sent by the Trump government to Indians who entered America from Dunky Route. These include 33-33 from Haryana and Gujarat, 30 from Punjab, three from Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh and two from Chandigarh. The US government says that many more such illegal migrants will be identified and they will be deported.
Meanwhile, the question is, what will happen to them now when Indian citizens who were deported from America returning to India? Will these people ever be able to go back to America and what action will be taken on agents sending these people from Danki Route? All such questions are in everyone’s mind. Aaj Tak tried to find answers to these questions.
What’s next for deported Indians?
Senior Advocate and President of Delhi Bar Council KK Manan said that exile people will not have to face any legal action in India until they travel with fake/fake documents. Manan said, “As long as he has a real Indian passport and has used his legitimate documents, there will be no legal action against him in India. If someone has used a fake passport or has put his picture in someone else’s passport or has changed his name/date of birth or other details on the passport for Dunky Route, then they may have to face the case under the Passport Act. . ”
At the same time, during Captain Amarinder Singh government, former Punjab Advocate General, Senior Advocate Atul Nanda said that there is little possibility that these people will be involved in making fake papers because most of such migrants are less educated and are from poor families. In such a situation, these people can again live a common life in their respective villages.
Advocate Kamlesh Mishra, who worked on issues related to the exile of illegal immigrants from India, told Aaj Tak that the exiles can not be prosecuted until they are convicted for any crime in the host country or they are India or they are India I do not participate in any passport fraud. He has been sent back to his country (India). At most, they can be asked whether the documents they have to leave the country are correct or not.
Can they go back to America?
The lawyers agree that those who have been deported as illegal migrants will not be able to go back. Advocate Nanda said, “Whenever you fill a visa form, there is a column in which you have ever been deported. Once the stain of exile, most countries do not give visas to such people. Countries like America, Canada, Australia, Bretton, Schengen (European) do not give visas to anyone who has been deported as illegal migrants. ”
According to the US Embassy website, “If a person is deported or removed, it can be banned from re -applying for a visa for 10 years on the basis of circumstances. In some cases this action may be exempted from this action. “
The US State Department website also states that the illegally entered foreigners can not apply for a visa for at least 5 years and many sections related to the acceptance of their visa were determined. Are.
Will action be taken against travel agents?
Advocate KK Manan said, “Now action should be taken on those travel agents who have sent them illegally and sent them to these exile. It is the right of every country to deport illegal migrants.”
Former Punjab Attorney General Atul Nanda said that now the attention should be on capturing travel agencies and prosecuting them, who sent these people illegally to America. Nanda said, “People who should face legal action are those who played an important role in sending these people there illegally. Most of these exiled people will be less educated or illiterate people will be involved. I will not have their hands. ”
The former Advocate General also said that travel agencies in many areas of Punjab, especially Doaba and rural Punjab, show beautiful lives in America, Canada or Britain and ask people for millions of rupees to migrate in these countries. They send them to travel through another country to travel. Agents take them to various places, sometimes they travel in containers, under very poor conditions. The entire property of the family is spent in the hope that the son will earn money somewhere. Exports are now double hit for these families, who had kept their hopes on earnings abroad.
Nanda says, “There should be a thorough investigation of who are the people who sent the exiles abroad and how they were sent. There is something called Dunky System. How many travel agents were caught or found guilty in the last 10 years? This is disappointing. “
This action can be taken on complaints of illegal migration
Please tell that the issue of Danki system has also been raised in Parliament. By December 5, 2024, the Ministry of External Affairs had said in response to a question asked in the Rajya Sabha that whenever complaints of illegal migration/human trafficking are received, such cases were implemented by the Indian Justice Code (BNS) and the Punjab Government. The Punjab is sent to the state police for investigation and prosecution under the relevant legal provisions of other laws like the Punjab Human Prevention of Prevention Act, 2012. That is, such agents who are sending Indians abroad from Dunky Route, can also be taken under the said sections.
Action is also taken against the illegal recruitment agents in collaboration with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and State Police Officers in the cyber domain. Requests to remove social media posts of illegal recruitment agencies from all over India including Punjab have been regularly shared with the Ministry of Home Affairs and recently filed 38 FIRs against illegal recruitment agencies in Punjab in the Ministry and Punjab Police joint campaign.
