India has termed the placing of radio collars on Indian students in a university in California, U.S. as “unfair” and has demanded the policy’s removal.
The government has stated that it is seriously worried about the impact of the action of Federal officials on the Indian students of California-situated TriValley University.
A foreign ministry statement has said, we have told American officials that they should treat Indian students well and that the use of a monitor on a group of students, which is used when someone is arrested and then released with a monitor placed on him under American laws, is unfair and should be removed.
The foreign ministry summoned the U.S. Embassy Deputy Chief, Donald Liu, and said that the students should be treated well and they should be given ample opportunity to clarify their position.
The statement says that many of the university’s students had migrated to other universities. About 100 students had taken visas from the U.S. embassy in India and many students had registered in the university as dependents on their partners only after completing the necessary formalities.
