Punjab NRI Affairs Minister Kuldip Singh Dhaliwal on June 6 sought the intervention of External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar in the matter of 700 Indian students facing deportation from Canada. In a letter to Mr. Jaishankar, Mr. Dhaliwal also sought time to meet him over the issue.
As many as 700 Indian students, mostly from Punjab, are facing deportation from Canada after Canadian authorities found the students’ “admission offer letters” to educational institutions to be fake. The matter came to light in March when these students applied for permanent residency in Canada.
"I have also sought time to meet EAM so that the whole matter can be brought to the attention of the GOI personally," Mr. Dhaliwal said.
