After the Trump administration gave India a list of illegal migrants from India living in USA, India has asked the American government to give their details. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay said this is an ongoing matter and the US authorities had conveyed to us sometime back that out of certain statistics provided to us earlier, 271 cases remained to be addressed.
"However, no details of these cases were provided. We have asked for the same," he said. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had yesterday said in Parliament, "We have not accepted this list and have sought more details. We have said that it is only after we verify the details, can we issue an emergency certificate for their deportation."
The Donald Trump administration has given a list of 271 people, claiming they were illegal migrants from India. Asked about the killing of an Indian woman and her seven-year-old son in the US last night, Baglay said India is in touch with the US authorities who are trying to ascertain details of the "very unfortunate incident". He also said the Indian consulate was ready to extend all possible help to the family.
