Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday criticized the Central government for remaining silent about the alleged inhumane treatment of Indian citizens deported from the United States. Yadav questioned why those who touted India as a ‘Vishwaguru’ are now silent, highlighting the handcuffed deportation of Indians in conditions reminiscent of slavery. He further queried the external affairs ministry’s actions to protect affected children and women.
