(Jammu)National Sikh Front Batted Strongly for Citizenship Act
The National Sikh Front (NSF), which advocates the cause of Sikhs in Jammu and Kashmir, on Friday batted strongly for implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), saying it will particularly benefit minorities from Afghanistan.
It said people, including students, are being misguided to trigger countrywide protests.
“We fully support this Act. It is beneficial for the minorities (of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh),” NSF chairman Varinderjeet Singh told reporters here.
Singh called for implementation of the CAA in letter and spirit across the country and said students and some sections of people are being misguided.
“It does not affect any minority community but instead gives justice to them. But some people are being misled,” he said.
US Should Not Obstruct Flow of Indian Talent:MEA on H-1B visa
(Washington)USA should not obstruct flow of talent from India: Jaishankar on H-1B visa
The US should not obstruct the flow of talent from India as it is an important part of the economic cooperation and almost acts as a strategic bridge between the two countries, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said,
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. The technology companies depend on it to hire tens of thousands of employees each year from countries like India and China.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Mark Esper hosted Jaishankar and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh for the second 2+2 dialogue in Washington DC on Wednesday. Jaishankar and Singh left the US on Thursday.
The US government has said that it is planning to curb the distribution of the H-1B visa to Indians. While the Trump administration is yet to take a final decision on this matter, it could affect the Indian IT professionals.
India has been the only country that takes 70 per cent of the 85,000 H-1B visas applied annually. The H-1B visa is crucial for the IT sector in India.
