Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said the $100,000 fee on H-1B visas announced by US President Donald Trump may hurt in the short term but could benefit India later. “Let’s not be doomsayers about this H-1B thing… let’s not allow ourselves to constantly feel that we’re the victims,” he told The Wire. Tharoor argued US firms may move jobs to India and Europe since America lacks enough engineers. He called Trump “a law unto himself” but said ties with India could still improve. While Congress leaders criticised PM Modi, Tharoor praised the government’s “measured and sensible” response. (PC: Shahbaz Khan/PTI Photo)
