New Delhi, Feb. 6 -- Congress MP Randeep Singh Surjewala has expressed concern on the manner in which over 100 Indian nationals were deported who were allegedly illegally living in the United States.

Surjewala questioned the government's silence over the manner in which deportees were sent to the country stating that they were chained for 40 hours and not allowed to use toilets.

Citing a specific data, Surjewala said that more than 7.25 lakh Indian citizens went to the US in search of a better life because the Centre failed to fulfilled their promises.

"... More than 7.25 lakh Indian citizens went to the US in search of a better life... They had to go there to earn for their families because PM Modi government ran away from the promise...
