Amid the disturbing news that Indian students were fastened with radio-trackers on their feet, the External Affairs Ministry has termed the whole incident unacceptable and avoidable. Aghast at the barbaric treatment thrust upon the indian student community, External Affairs Ministers S M Krishna issued a statement in the press that he has conveyed his anguish and strong displeasure to the US authorities over the way the Indian students were handled.
It may be recalled that a few days back the university was closed down by the US authorities for its duplicity in according student visas to more than 500 students from India. Out of a student strength of 1555 at Tri-Valley University, nearly 90 percent of them are from India, especially Andhra Pradesh.
In the wake of the closure of the university, the students are in a serious danger of being deported to India after their visa has been revoked by the US authorities on the grounds of misuse of visa.
