Devyani Khobragade's father addresses media: Highlights
  • Want to express my gratitude and thanks to the people of India, all political parties, entire media, Ministry of External Affairs, Prime Minister for their support during this crisis our family had to undergo
  • This was the moment the entire nation stood together for the cause dearer to every Indian, to ascertain sovereignty of the nation and judicial system
  • Devyani was fighting to uphold the sovereignty of this country
  • When alternates were offered she sacrificed the personal comfort
  • Now because of the support from all of you and the entire nation, my daughter is going to come back to her country and unite with the family
  • This wouldn't have been possible without the support
  • If she compromises in this basic principle she can continue to stay in US
  • She as a proud Indian gave more importance to the judicial system of India over the personal relief she was being offered and decided that my country sovereignty is more dearer to me then my personal life
  • Though you are charged for visa fraud...accept that you have paid less to the help and a fine and get over with it (such was the offer)
  • You pay damages, a little fine and the charges will be dropped...Devyani declined it
  • Feelers from the US government itself...sat with the lawyer...a proposal was made
  • Family will join us in India within short time
  • Government will decide on the posting she's going to have
  • Crisis was created by the US administration
  • If it has some effect on the Indo-US ties it is their issue
  • Indian government did whatever they could
  • Feelers came from US prosecution lawyer to Devyani's lawyer
