Now, passport holders with ECR status would be issued a passport with orange color passport jacket
Treating India's migrant workers like second class citizens is completely unacceptable. This action demonstrates govt.'s discriminatory mindset. However well-intentioned the move to create different coloured passports for different kinds of travellers, it is wrong and must be reconsidered. Already officials treat citizens differently based on their class...different passport colors will worsen it.
While Indian passports have a blue cover, diplomatic and official passports have white and red jackets, respectively. Currently, barring diplomatic and official passports, all Indian passports have blue cover.So,let it be like that!
