Embassies not helping Indians: Mann
Speaking in Lok Sabha, Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann said there were complaints that the Indian embassies in foreign countries were creating trouble for Indians in cases of passport and passports for children of those who sought political asylum. Many Indians in Saudi Arabia were forced to work like slaves. When they somehow manage to reach the embassy for help, they were asked to produce NOC from the employer. This must stop, he said. Earlier, Speaker Om Birla checked Mann for changing his subject from "Salaries of teachers in Punjab" to "Indian embassies". Tns
