A Lok Sabha MP from Chandigarh, Punjab, Malvinder Singh Kong has written to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, who is demanding his immediate intervention to solve the problems faced by several Indian citizens trapped in Spain due to delay in passport renewal and re -release in the Indian Consulate.
In the letter, Kang said that regular cases such as damaged, lost, or expired passports have increased in a “human emergency”, who are stranded in Spain for more than six months, leaving countless citizens including many people from Punjab.
These persons of Shri Anandpur Sahib MPs claimed that their families are being deprived of their fundamental right to mobility and reunion.
“The viral spread of the poignant video showing desperate applicants at the doors of the consulate catchs their pain and throws light on the scale of grief.
Kang wrote, “Some of them require serious treatment, while others are struggling with heartbreaking family emergency situations.”
The MP warned that continuous hurdles in passport processing not only affect unbearable difficulties on citizens abroad, but also reduce India’s reputation as “kind” and also as “skilled” parents of their global migrants.
He urged the MEA to urge the consulate in Spain to overhale their procedures, prefer pending cases and ensure Swift passport services.
“I firmly request immediate intervention of @drsjaishankar Ji, including many of Punjab, as many of Punjab, delay in passport renewal for the last six months and re -released in our consulate.
Kang said in a post on X, “Many important medical needs or family tragedies. A viral video catchs their pain. Swift and decisive clearance of all pending cases is required to end their pain, maintain their dignity and reunite them with their families.”
He assured the Ministry of full cooperation in bridging the connections with them, and provided more information as the need.
An MP expressed confidence that the rapid action by the government would reduce the burden of affected persons, confirm the commitment to India’s responsible regime, and protect the dignity and welfare of its citizens abroad.
