How can we tolerate such inhuman and discrimninate bahaviour by the officials?
First, they should have been a little more humane and considered the plight of kids who had travelled 24 hrs already. I fail to understand what was the need to make them travel back again. They family is genuine and they genuinely attempted to get the visas faxed.
In any case, if they declined visas to our very own Indians, I wish to ask the officials as to under which rules they allowed a two day transit visa to the frenchman.
It is high time we come out the sick mentality of traeting foreigners better than our own country men. I travel in so many parts of the world and can share with all that and no other country probably treats the foreigners with such soft gloves as we do when comapred to their own country men.
I appeal to all to come forward and raise this issue with the highest possible authorities, so that such a treatment is not meeted out any more to any more Indians.
My heart cries out for the kids and the family. I just hope that they take it in their stride and do not develop a sick feeling towards their own country.
