Aimed at drawing attention to the treatment faced by Indians in USA
Kapri’s protest was aimed at drawing attention to the treatment faced by Indians in America, where they are being arrested and deported in chains. Speaking passionately, Kapri questioned the Modi government’s stance, asking, “Where did that 56-inch chest go, where did those red eyes go? We are going to make India a Vishwaguru, and we all have seen how Indians are being sent back from America tied in chains.” He continued, “There are other countries in the world bringing their people back in helicopters and planes, but Indians are being treated like prisoners. Even after landing in India, they are taken away in police vehicles. This reality is being revealed, and these chains symbolize that India will not tolerate any insult.”
