A party of 150 Indian Jews were scheduled to be flown back to India today. They were members of a group which last week demonstrated before the Jewish Agency office here demanding transportation to India.
The planes which will fly them to India will make the return trip with 100 Indian Jews who have been waiting for transportation to take them to Israel. The aircraft have been chartered by the Jewish Agency.
