Congress Criticizes Modi Government's Response to US Suspension of Indian IT Firms' Visa Program
The US government recently suspended eight major IT firms, including Microsoft, Infosys, and Wipro, from a green card program, citing concerns over job market impacts on Americans. The Indian Congress party criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government for not retaliating, alleging it prioritized appeasing the US, notably through UPI MDR charges benefiting American companies. Congress highlighted legal options under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act but claimed Modi, amid the 'GyaneshGate' controversy, remains unwilling to act. The US action follows concerns over visa misuse and affects Indian IT professionals directly.
