CONDEMNING American Government’s act of fixing electronic collars on to Indian students’ legs, VHP general secretary Dr Pravin Togadia said America is treating Indian students as slaves. In a statement issued on February 1 he said: “Since Shri Barack Hussein Obama has become President of United States of America, he and his officers have been insulting and humiliating India and Indians on one way or the other. First it was Obama’s call for banning all outsourcing; then it was Ohio state that actually boycotted Indian IT firms; then it was the much hyped visit of Smt and Shri Obama in which the couple danced, made merry and again termed Indians as ‘job stealers’ and now inhuman treatment to the Tri-Valley University students. These students have followed all procedures of applying, various examinations as well as interviews with the US Consulate for their students Visas. When the university presented the papers to US Immigration Services for obtaining papers needed for Indian students’ Visas, where were American authorities? When the students went to the US Consulate with the papers sent by the University as approved by the US Immigration Services, why the Consulate in India did not verify the papers and authenticity of the university? Then, when the students completed their few semesters in that university, paid medical insurance and other costs needed for students there, where were American authorities? Now, why blame the Indian students who are actually victims of cheating by the Tri Valley University of the United States of America in connivance with the State of America. Instead of collaring the University authorities and the officers in US Immigration Services, collaring Indian students is an act of complete injustice and also the human rights violation of Indian students.”
Dr Togadia further demanded that Shri Obama should immediately apologise for such inhuman treatment to Hindu students in America, get the barbaric electronic collars removed from their feet and get all the affected students admitted in other authorised universities in the US. (FOC)
