Over 10,000 Indians, who had been detained abroad on various charges, have returned home since 2014. This significant achievement is attributed to the proactive and sustained diplomatic efforts led by the Modi government, officials announced on Friday.
A notable instance is the UAE pardoning nearly 500 Indian prisoners during the Islamic holy month of Ramzan, reflecting the strong bilateral relationship between India and the Gulf nation. Officials stated that since 2014, PM Modi has prioritized the welfare of Indians overseas, ensuring their safe return through high-level diplomatic negotiations.
Key highlights of India's diplomatic successes include the release of 2,783 Indian prisoners from the UAE since 2022, Saudi Arabia freeing 850 during the Crown Prince's 2019 visit to India, and the pivotal intervention leading to the release of Indian Navy veterans in Qatar in 2023. These achievements underscore India's growing diplomatic stature under Modi's leadership.
