My eagerness led me to get the information behind the Visa fraud(reported by USA media); and I chanced to read the editorial of New York Times yesterday; and the picture which was blurred till yesterday got clearer than crystal.
Devyani hails from India; his father is an ex-bureaucrat, and they are very close to the ruling regime of Maharashtra, that is the Indian National Congress. So, Devyani, an IFS officer and an Indian diplomat, has close connections with the Indian Government. She has married an USA citizen of Indian origin-- Aakash Singh Rathore, a professor at the university of Pennsylvania and both have two children.
Sangeeta also hails from India, was hired, lured, and taken to USA as a domestic help. She also married an US citizen, working in US consulate as a driver, and her father in law was also a domestic help to one of the powerful US diplomat in India from 2002-2007.
Now it is amply clear, that both were educated, the later being much inferior to the former by degrees. But, the question arises that Mrs Devayani Rathore(the name has been given the Indian look, to understand in Indian context) in her visa bond has assured Sangeeta to pay 9.75$ per hour, but was paying 1.25$ per hour. Sangeeta was overworked, under paid, and given least time for herself.
Please tell me, if an MP or an MLA declares anything in his/her undertaking, he/she is liable to face legal action, if any wrongdoing is detected and brought to the notice of the Court or Chancery. The Court--Higher or Lower-- can initiate the hearing by cognizance also and give a verdict, several such cases are still pending in Indian Courts.
If Mrs Devayani is an IFS, wasn't she aware that after marrying an US citizen and taking help of an Indian maid--also with US connections--may be sued by the US authorities if the underpaying issue is brought to the notice of the court?. I presume, Yes, 100 percent. And she would have had also foreseen the ramifications of the payment forgery. So, she certainly knew it, and after hauled by the US officials took the Indian way out, after all, her father is an powerful ex-bureaucrat.
The government at the center, badly hurt and bruised and forced to bite the dust in the hustings in few states, wasted no time, and took this case as a veil to deflect the media attention on the current Government, its policies and its functioning for the interests and welfare of common man. Bizarre statements started coming on TV with Indian rhetoric, and teaching US a lesson this time. Nonsense!
Bah! mad, lunatic or vicious jingoism, has blown a simple case out of proportion to such an extent that the strategic partnership with US hangs in balance. Mr Man Mohan Singh, in his ten year tenure, has labored very hard to bring the two democracies nearer then ever, and has worked out some very good agreements--read initiatives--with the US only to be frittered in this way.
My earnest request--to the amiable and honest media--is not to give any more coverage of the issue, and let Mrs Devayani face the music along with her powerful father. And please remember Sangeeta is as much Indian as Devayani, but an AAM AURAT--DAI. Hope AAP people are listening along with the frenzy media, as, her father is taking the plunge into politics on this sole issue.
