'No conspiracy behind harassment of IT pros'

April 28, 2003 14:56 IST

The government on Monday said there does not appear to be any international conspiracy behind the recent harrasment of Indian IT professionals in various countries but added that it appeared to be the result of global economic recession.

"At the moment, there does not appear to be any deep rooted international conspiracy to discourage Indian IT professionals and entrepreneurs from harnessing the global market. However, the kind of incidents that have taken place in Malaysia, Indonesia, Netherlands and England appear to be linked to economic recession the world over," Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Rajiv Pratap Rudy told Rajya Sabha in a written reply.

He said the government has been actively taking up the liberalisation of visa and other procedures for visits of professionals for supply of services in World Trade Organisation member countries during the WTO negotiations on Trade in Services currently underway under the General Agreement on Trade in Services.
