However, the minister said what Nigerians did in Goa is also wrong.
Parrikar said the diplomat who arrived in Goa, had not come through a proper channel.
“As a foreign diplomat, he should have come through the Ministry of External Affairs. I never got any communication that anyone is coming,” the chief minister said.
He claimed that the “misunderstanding” between Nigeria and India is fallout of wrong media reporting.
“I never said that Nigerians would be deported, but what I had said was that illegally staying foreigners including Nigerians would be deported,” Parrikar said.
