NEW YORK: Foreign Minister SM Krishna, who is in New York spoke to Hillary Clinton US Secretary of State on phone and discussed the issue of Indian students. Clinton has assured all help and has agreed to intervene and sort out the matter.
She has promised to help the Indian students who were enrolled in the Tri-Valley University and asked the Indian Ambassador to meet her on Monday and provide all details.
18 students of the university were radio-tagged by the ICE as part of their investigation. The radio-tagging had miffed the Indian government and New Delhi had expressed its strong displeasure at the treatment meted out to the students. The tags were removed just ahead of Krishna’s arrival in the US.
Therefore Krishna stressed upon her to find a humanitarian and rapid solution as many students had come on a legal visa and for no fault of theirs, stand to lose out academically and financially.
Krishna also asked Clinton to give students some time to shift to some other university.
The California based university helped foreign nationals illegally acquire immigration status, according to a federal complaint filed in a California court in January. The university is said to have 1,555 students. As many as 95 per cent of these students are Indian nationals, university was shut down on charges of a massive visa fraud.
