Their petition at all locations was just the same-- “we as victims have organized ourselves into a group advocating for relief measures. Our preliminary data analysis suggests that one out of every three NRIs has experienced victimization in India. We appeal to the union gove r n m e n t f o r s u p p o r t considering our substantial contribution at the national level. To address the concerns raised we propose enactment of the NRI Protection Bill.’’
