Why no outrage from so-called #Deshbhakt media over inhumane and insulting deportation of Indians from US?

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat  
Why is there no outrage from the so-called #Deshbhakt media over the inhumane and insulting deportation of Indians by the Trump Administration? Countries like #Colombia, #Venezuela, and #Mexico have boldly raised the issue and arranged civilian planes to bring their citizens back honorably. However, so far, Indian leadership has remained clueless or is busy weaving a new narrative about scoring a 'diplomatic' victory or how Trump invited Modi to the US. Can Trump really be trusted? We are likely to witness organized chaos over the next four years. Now, he aims to control #Gaza, demanding that people there either relocate or face elimination.
It is strange that our media and political leadership have remained silent on why people are being deported in such an inhumane manner. The number of affected individuals could be much larger. There is also the danger that the Americans might demand reimbursement for the expenses incurred. The Trump administration can be both mischievous and intimidating. India needs to stand firm and not be swayed by Trump's acceptance or rejection.
The only country that has consistently stood by India is Russia. India would do well to carefully consider its stance before agreeing to anything Donald Trump proposes. Trump is desperate to maintain American hegemony in a world where U.S. supremacy is increasingly challenged. India must stand on its own and protest if its citizens are humiliated.
Let us see how the mainstream media reacts to this. Perhaps it won’t be on their agenda today, as they will be preoccupied with Modi ji's Ganga Snan at Prayagraj and campaigning for the BJP in the Delhi elections. Let’s see when they wake up and what they have to say.

No one expects a better deportation than this for people who crept into a country totally illegally. Is this not only ridiculing the citizens and legal migrants living in that country but also to the people who are struggling to go by all the formalities for securing legal visas to that country.
