Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh shared on X a press statement issued on Thursday by the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and said it is "cause for concern to us in India".

"Out of the 327 visa revocation cases of international students collected by the organisation so far, 50 per cent are Indians. The reasons for revocation are random and unclear. There is growing fear and apprehension," Ramesh said. "Will the External Affairs Minister take note and raise the concern with his US counterpart?" Ramesh said and tagged Jaishankar.
