There's a cardinal rule in Indian Aviation, Don't EVER let the DGCA get under your skin. These are pen pushing "babus" who hate pilots. Every once in a while they need to come out and puff their chest out and talk big about getting rid of foreign pilots in order to appease the public who have no idea why the foreign pilots are there. Both the public, and also some in the DGCA, are so unknowledgeable about aviation that they don't understand why the foreign pilots are around. They think that these foreign pilots have simply showed up and taken the place of Indian pilots for no good reason.

You can't let this get to you, they've talked about getting rid of foreign pilots before and they'll do it again. At the end of the day the airlines will decide based on their needs, the DGCA don't have a clue about aviation so I wouldn't get all emotional or angry over the comments they make.
