Kash Patel set to make history on Thursday after confirmation to head FBI
Kash Patel is set to make history Thursday when the Republican-led US Senate votes to confirm him to head the FBI, the country’s premier investigating agency.
A US plane carrying 112 illegal immigrants from India landed late on Sunday night at Sri Guru Ramdasji International Airport in Amritsar amid tight security. Out of these 112 deportees, 44 were said to be from, 31 from Punjab, 33 from Gujarat, two from Uttar Pradesh, and one each from Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, as per the reports. The second lot of Indians, who illegally migrated to the United States through donkey routes, had arrived at Sri Guru Ramdasji International Airport in the holy city of Amritsar in a US plane late on Saturday night.
As per the reports, the plane carried 116 persons out of which 65 were said to be from Punjab, 33 from Haryana, eight from Gujarat, two each from Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Goa, and one each from Jammu and Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a joint press conference with US President Donald J Trump in Washington DC recently, had said that New Delhi is ready to take back its citizens living illegally in America. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has reminded the Government of India that history is replete with examples that whosoever has tried to cast a malicious eye on this land had never survived.

He said that the Modi Government was indulging in dirty tantrums by landing the planes of deportees on repeatedly on this revered land with the sole motive of defaming the Punjab and Punjabis. It is worth mentioning that on February 5, 104 illegal immigrants were deported by the US in C-17 military aircraft, which landed at Sri Guru Ramdasji International Airport in Amritsar. Thirty of them were from Punjab, 33 each from Haryana and Gujarat, while three each from Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, and two from Chandigarh. Punjab NRI Affairs Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal last Tuesday said that many people from the country entered the US on work permits, which later expired. This made them illegal immigrants, he said.
