    "Immigration officers are being issued with absolute power to detain legitimate, hard-working immigrants based on grounds of suspicion alone and without any reasonable doubt," he said.

    Dr Amaresh Swaro, Executive Committee member of the Forum, said: "As much as it is important for the immigration officers to carry out checks properly, it is also important to make sure that legal migrants are not harassed unnecessarily."

    Indian born overseasBy: Mustafa | 03-Aug-2009 Reply | Forward My family are Gujrati and I was born in Britain. I have noticed that the goverment say Indians overseas are Indian when it comes to investing money in the country or posting money to family there. But as soon as our passports change and we have a problem we are no longer Indian. Look what happened to Indians in Uganda. They were all told they are no longer Indian as soon as they were asked to leave by Idi Amin and became poor moving to Britain and Canada. Before when they were rich they were the pride of India. Representing India overseas and remembering their roots.
