India Ups Diplomatic Row with U.S.

India Ups Diplomatic Row with U.S.

Talk about petty. After the U.S. arrested an Indian diplomat in New York on charges of falsifying visa documents for a maid and then failing to pay her minimum wage, police in New Delhi have removed security barriers around the U.S. embassy there. The Indian government has also seized identification cards that extend Americans diplomatic benefits, and instituted a freeze on duty-free alcohol. India is outraged at what it sees as degrading treatment of its diplomat, who was reportedly arrested on the street and strip searched at jail, which U.S. Marshals say is standard procedure.

wannabe and model at war ::confused::

interesting

Devyani Khobragade is the deputy consul general of India in New York

She was STRIPPED  ???  :-\

                       

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh  described Ms Khobragade's treatment as "deplorable"

Foreign Minister Salman Khursheed said it was his duty to restore the dignity of the diplomat.

"In terms of giving a strong, unambiguous, direct message to the United States of America:

whatever I believe we were supposed to do, we did immediately,"
