Sayajirao varsity demands help to students facing deportation

Updated on: Sunday, February 06, 2011

The Students Union of Maharaja Sayajirao University (SUMSU) here have demanded immediate help to Indians students, who are facing deportation after being duped by a University in US.
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chariperson Sonia Gandhi, SUMSU Vice President Nikita Gavende has requested the Centre to make all arrangements for extending help to students who are detained there and said they were apalled over their radio-tagging.

Gavende said, "we stand by these students and will pressurise Indian government to extend all help to them who are left in lurch."

Talking to newsmen here today, she asked, "why students of this fraud are treated like criminals and no action is taken against those responsible for it?"

She wondered how US could have reacted if such treatment was meted out to American students in our country.

Gavande said these students had gone to US with proper visas along with valid documents.

"How can you punish Indian students who went there after completing all legal formalities?" she asked .

The SUMSU has demanded strong actions against officials responsible for the fraud, she said.

The MSU is a world renowned university with a strength of about 40,000 which includes students from various countries.
