And it’s not just students who participated in protest, the letters were sent to students who captured the protests and shared anti-US slogans online. It is likely that Indian students will also be part of this group.
The move has raised concerns over the students being active online and their freedom of expression. The American foreign department is filtering students who were spreading anti-US stance. If found guilty, the students will be asked to stop studies at universities and self deport themselves, sources say.
