PM flags India's concerns over US immigration law changes
September 28, 2013
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has told President Barack Obama that certain aspects of the proposed changes in the American immigration laws will hit Indian IT professionals, eliciting a promise from the US that these concerns will be looked into.
Dr Singh raised the issue during his three-hour discussion with Obama in Washington and said that the Indian IT sector is a major contributor to US' GDP and employment generation, besides being a cementing force between the two countries, and any barriers would be counter-productive.
