Hyderabad: Referring to some Indian students, who sought admissions in US universities, being denied entry and deported back to India on flimsy and unauthenticated grounds, Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Rao requested Minister for External Affairs and Overseas Indian Affairs Sushma Swaraj to order a through probe in consultation with the USA Embassy and name the US universities that were blacklisted so that the students who wished to seek admissions into USA universities were not victimized.In a letter addressed to Sushma Swaraj, Hanumantha Rao stated that the Indian students applied for admission into Silicon Valley University (SVU) and North-western University (NPU) in the USA and neither the Indian government nor the US government raised any objection during scrutiny and processing of the applications.
But the poor students were denied entry into the US and sent back home on flimsy and unauthenticated grounds and made scapegoats for no fault of theirs, he said, adding that now their future was at stake and their parents were worried lot as the students were on the verge of losing precious academic year.
