JOIN USFollowing deportation of AP and Telangana students by US authorities, Union minister Ashok Gajapati Raju and AP government representative Kambhampati Rammohan Rao have urged MEA to obtain a list of blacklisted universities of that country.
The two met External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in New Delhi on Tuesday on the issue and requested her to obtain the blacklist since it would help several Indian students trying for higher studies in the US.
With rumours swirling that two San Francisco-based varsities Northwestern Polytechnic University and Silicon Valley University- are under scrutiny, several students from the two Telugu states were reportedly prevented from entering US despite possessing proper travel documents.
“We have apprised the external affairs minister of the ongoing deportation issue of Telugu students from San Francisco by the US customs authorities and urged her to speak to her counterparts in USA,” Raju told reporters.
“We realise students were disappointed at the airlines preventing them from boarding the flight, but they have been stopped for their own welfare,” Rammohan Rao said. “Otherwise, they would have undergone more pain.”
