Sushma Swaraj meets Biden, refrains from raising Modi visa issue

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 23 Juli 2013 | 22.45

NEW DELHI: BJP leader SushmaSwaraj on Tuesday met visiting US Vice-President Joe Biden and raised the issue of visa to skilled workers but refrained from discussing the lifting of ban on American visa to Gujarat chief minister NarendraModi.

"I had a very good meeting with Mr Joe Biden, Vice-President of United States of America this afternoon. Amongst other issues, I raised the issue of totalisation agreement and H1B visa to Indian professionals," the Leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha said on Twitter.

US has entered into agreements, called Totalisation Agreements, with several nations for the purpose of avoiding double taxation of income with respect to social security or medicare taxes. India is not yet a signatory to this agreement.

Swaraj, however, refrained from raising the issue of the US lifting the ban on visa to Modi. BJP president Rajnath Singh, who is on a five-day visit to the US, has said he will raise this issue with the American authorities.

Swaraj had come to the capital from Madhya Pradesh for this meeting with Biden and other engagements. She left for her Lok Sabha constituency Vidisha soon after the meeting for a four-day visit.
