CPI(M) wrote to Jaishankar, urging him to raise questions about student visa revocation

John Brittas, a member of the Indian Communist Party (Marxist) Congress, wrote to Foreign Affairs Minister Jaishankar on Saturday, urging him to raise the question of revoking the U.S. government’s visa to Indian students at the “highest appropriate level”. Brittas also urged him to ensure legal and consular assistance there affected by the Indian mission.

Brittas claims that in the United States, hundreds of Indian students face a painful and increasingly shocking situation, whose visas have been revoked without prior notice or sufficient explanation.

“The deepening troubles are the nature of the causes of these visa revocations – many of them are trivial, disproportionate, and completely inconsistent with the severity of the actions taken,” he claimed.
He said students reportedly face cancellations for violations of minor violations, such as speeding or misdemeanors, unintentional lapses in documents, unintentional academic violations, no formal inquiries, social media expressions, social media expressions or news works, especially in minor conflicts such as Palestinians, and minor events such as crimes, such as smaller events in cat can.

Brittas also said that denying opportunities are creating a “frightening atmosphere of fear and uncertainty among the thousands of Indian students struggling to seek legitimate academic pursuits in the United States”.

“What is particularly disturbing is the opaque and arbitrary nature of these behaviors, which seem to lack both procedural fairness and proportionality,” he said. The gravity and size of the issue demanded a strong and coordinated diplomatic response from the Indian government, he said. “We cannot let our young people be insulted and insulted by foreign soil. We need to stand firmly by their side in times of crisis.”

Brittas urged the foreign minister to contact the U.S. government immediately to “seek clear, unfair visa cancellations and assurances of non-discriminatory and transparent treatment for Indian students”.

He added: “I also ask you to provide instructions for our mission to provide all possible legal and consular assistance to those affected, including representative and welfare support.”

Foreign Ministry (MEA) spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said on Thursday that Indian students may revoke their visas in a communication on the possibility of revoking their visas.
