U.S Marshals' office spokesperson has gone on record and U.S Marshals comes under the US DOJ - Preet need not issue a statement as he does not represent USM office. So it is a question of US Marshals' spokesperson vs Devyani's claim. I did not see any official MEA statement in this regard...

Let Indian Government change their procedures. Not only here with the maid services but also the procedure for Dr. Kalam and other eminent citizens from India. Not that the Indian Government has acted on it after the last outrage with Dr. Kalam and even when there was an outrage with the then...

While many Indians were going bonkers about the slew of retaliation measures from MEA wrt US diplomats and their privileges in India, they never realized that U.S played it out well. If it had become a d***k measuring contest, these time bombs would have been one of the weapons used by US if it...

If Indian IT companies expect Indians to work for longer hours in India does not mean that rule will hold good in US. For example, IT companies like IBM pay one and half times for every extra hour after 8 hours. U.S land and U.S laws - you can't apply Indian laws in US. And trust me when at...

Again you have been giving Sangita undue credit for her intelligence. She did not understand US laws. Once she landed(due to some help from NRIs) in the hands(I would say good hands in this case) of the NGO made up of brilliant immigration lawyers she had on her side some experts who had guided...

“Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter-faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and...

Why not look at it from the maid's perspective? Her personal passport was taken away by DK just after landing in US, none of her family is there with her and she is not educated(US can be intimidating even for the educated lot in the first few years of their landing in US) and being docked her...

Unfortunately the only side yapping from day one is DK and her another crook of a father and her lawyer which raised the fever in India and allowed the maid to be painted in a very wrong way. If only the maid had her own with the media, there would have been certain facts which would have...

Speaking to Indian daily The Indian Express in Delhi on Saturday, Khobragade said, "I wonder if I will be able to ever reunite with my family, my husband, my little kids. I miss them." "What if my children choose to study and work in the US? What if I can never return to the US, which I cannot...

@Bang Galore - I have been reading your arguments about the US embassy official and Preet who can be held for contempt of court here in India. I do understand that Preet can be held for contempt of court for his statement. But what legal standing even the court will have in trying to hold the...

What do you think of the Sept 4th message from US DOS informing Indian embassy of the investigations of US DOJ against Devyani and why do you think US DOS informed the Indian embassy?

On a lighter note based on what you posted before you edited it(yeah true - I saw your original post not that it bothers me but eggs me to have some fun), let me state - I want to kill everyone who did that to Kalam sir as he is a Tamilian himself. On a serious note, let me ram it down your...

Indian courts can deal with things harshly and I do agree it can as seen by the precedence in dealing with the Italian Ambassador isssue. But then it can become a question of Indian courts vs International Court of Justice(kind of similar to what happened between US and Iran in 1970s after...

India was not doing it for the reason it might cause trouble for the diplomat with the court. It is a simple case of tit-for-tat. You throw out one official, we will do the same which happens in similar cases. There is no way Indian court can touch that consular official(if he is a diplomat he...

No. She won't be allowed to enter US. That is why she is being asked to leave in the first place. On Thursday, the Indian mission to the United Nations rejected the State Department's request that her immunity be waived. Then in a diplomatic note, the U.S. mission requested Khobragade's...

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

There is no victory or loss here. Even today's developments are as per the procedure. India applied for UN mission based diplomatic immunity. It was reviewed by US DOS and US DOS granted that yesterday as per the news. So she can be indicted but the case will be kept in a suspended state. So...

Unfortunately there is no one to pursue the same FIR Khobragade filed in Indian courts. Else the court would have seen through Devyani's ruse. She had seized the maid's personal passport, filing of non-cooperation FIR against the maid's husband(unheard of in India - AFAIK there is no precedent...

You are paying for your gas with what? Indian rupees? (Do not come up with some googled answer that you are paying with rupees just because some news pops up about Iran oil bought with rupees). I will respond when you come back with more concrete response. Until then, I am off.

And these are the people who are paying for your gas and gold imports by way of NRI deposits and remittances(total of $126 billion in 2012 alone of which remittance is $69 billion alone) because there is a negative balance of payments. And these are the people who bought Indian Govt. bonds in...
