New Indian Envoy Arrives In U.S., Efforts Pick Up To Defuse Row
If Khobragade, who was released on a $250,000 bond after her Dec 12 arrest, is allowed to leave the country after she gets her diplomatic immunity with the case continuing, she would find it difficult to ever return to the U.S. Therein lies the rub as the diplomat's husband Aakash Singh Rathore, a wine expert and philosophy professor, is a U.S. citizen.
Meanwhile, a group of Indian-Americans has initiated an online petition to the Obama administration to "Immediately drop all charges against Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade."
Protesting "the manner of detention" of Khobragade, the petition created Dec 18 on White House's "We the People" forum, describes her as "one of the faces of Indian government for the Indian community in the United States."
"Her public humiliation injures the sentiments of the Indian American community. Such incidents are bound to strain the Indo-U.S. relations," it says.
To date 476 persons have signed the petition. It needs to get a total of 100,000 signatures by Jan 17 to get a response from the White House.
