‘Indentured servants’: India hits back at Vance
India has strongly criticized the United States' suspension of eight technology companies from the Permanent Labour Certification (PERM) programme, calling the move "deeply offensive". The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) defended Indian professionals, stating they are highly skilled contributors to the US economy. The PERM programme is distinct from the H-1B visa programme, and the suspension could affect Green Card applications for eligible employees.
The MEA emphasized that talent mobility benefits both countries and expressed hope that stakeholders would appreciate this mutual benefit.
