New Delhi:
The United States should look Indian IT companies not as a problem
but as part of the solution as these provide jobs to the local
people and add to the country's development, Minister of State for
IT Sachin Pilot said Thursday.
"The Indian IT companies are not a problem. They are part of the
solution. They are adding value. They are creating jobs for the
local people whether in the US or Europe," said Pilot on the eve
of President Barack Obama's visit to India.
In the just concluded mid-term US Congressional elections, the
rhetoric against outsourcing had reached a crescendo, with
President Obama saying his administration was determined to end
tax breaks for American firms that sent jobs abroad.
On being asked if the ministry would raise the issue with US
authorities, Pilot said: "The issues of visa fee and outsourcing
have already been taken up at the highest level by both the
countries."
Pilot also said the Indian IT companies are strong enough meet any
challenge.
