Indo – Gulf Reparation Mechanisms – Remarks & EndNote

    • Remarks:
      Shri Vayalar Ravi, the Hon’ble Minister of Overseas Indians Affairs, Govt. of India, is one of the five recipients of the Representation. [Recipients. []
    • The ‘Ministry of Non-Resident Indians’ Affairs’, the earlier version of the ‘Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs’ (MOIA), was created vide notification No. Doc.CD-160/2004 dated 27 May 2004 issued by the President of India, covering a wide range of areas concerning the welfare of overseas Indians, virtually making the Ministry a single window service provider. The Ministry is headed by Cabinet Minister, Shri Vayalar Ravi.
      • Despite the above solemn intention of the Government of India, it is sad to state that even an acknowledgment by way of interim reply, as sought in the representation and the reminders, has not been received from the Hon’ble Minister Shri. Vayalar Ravi nor his Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs].
        [‘It is clear from the above that the apprehension of the petitioner expressed in his second reminder dated 10th June, 2013 addressed to the Secretary of External Affairs, Government of India, New Delhi is correct.’].

      EndNote: “The establishments of institutional arrangements for the welfare of ‘Overseas Indian Community’, as highlighted by the Government of India, are intentionally deceptive, untruthful and purport to demonstrate that there are procedural remedies or tactics. Serious failures and inadequacies to comply with statutory or regulatory obligations on the part of both the Ministries, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) & the ‘Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs’ (MOIA) now stand proved by the subsequent communications received by the petitioner from the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India”.

‘Nitaqat Law & Years of Human Rights Abuses in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Member States ’

Since the beginning of 2013, several Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states launched intensive raids against undocumented migrant workers as part of Nitaqat Law (Nationalization). As per official estimate, nearly five million Indian migrants are currently living in the Gulf region. The distress and uncertainty facing migrants is extremely concerning; media reports and evidences shows that migrant workers are subject to indefinite detainment in squalid living conditions, treated like dirt, that guest workers have no rights, and receive minimal support from state representatives or diplomatic institutions.More Details

Human Rights Abuses in the Gulf States – A summary of some recent cases

The Minister for Overseas Indians Affairs condemned the unscrupulous agents for sending innocents abroad without proper documents. “For the past four years, my Ministry has been carrying advertisement campaigns in various languages. I am sad such campaigns have not delivered results.” Mr. Ravi said. He himself has thus expressed his inability to drive things the right way. It is a known fact that the Overseas Indians Affairs Ministry is yet to ensure safety, security and welfare of Indian migrant workers, suffering on various counts, in the Gulf countries.
