Felicitations for PM Modi Over Budget Allocations
Earlier in the day, around 30 Members of Parliament from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) gathered to commend Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the budgetary provisions allocated to Bihar, where Assembly elections are scheduled for November this year. The state received substantial financial allocations, underlining the government's focus on infrastructure and development projects.
Opposition MPs Protest Over Fishermen Detainment & Deportations
The Parliament premises also witnessed intense protests, with multiple Opposition MPs voicing concerns over:
✅ The detention of Indian fishermen by Sri Lankan authorities
✅ The treatment of Indian nationals deported from the United States
Several MPs from Tamil Nadu, including DMK MP Kanimozhi, led a protest demanding the immediate repatriation of 97 Indian fishermen currently in Sri Lankan custody. Addressing the media, Kanimozhi urged the Union government to engage in diplomatic discussions with Sri Lanka to secure the release of both the fishermen and their seized boats.
Meanwhile, Congress Whip Manickam Tagore moved an adjournment motion, seeking an official statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the “inhumane treatment” of deported Indian nationals in the United States.
Additionally, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi cited a Pew Research 2022 report, highlighting that 675,000 undocumented Indian immigrants remain in the US, with 18,000 people on a final deportation list. He warned that mass deportations could significantly impact remittances to India and urged the government to outline its policy response.
