Bangalore/Mumbai: The decision to increase visa fees by the U.S. government had already bothered the Indian software industry but the silence of Harsh Manglik, the Chairman of Nasscom, has got onto the nerves of IT companies. "How can the office of Nasscom chairman be silent on an issue that has seen people describe the work done by Indian tech firms as 'chop shop'," said a senior official at one of the top five Indian software exporters. Most of the top Tech firms in India feel that the Nasscon chief should break his silence and do something in favour of the industry's interest. The bill has created discontent among Indian IT firms. According to Rahul Khullar, Commerce Secretary, it can be viewed as a violation of WTO laws. The government is thinking of complaining to the global trade body. Many software companies and the US Chamber of Commerce have roundly criticised the Bill. Accenture which is headed by Manglik in India has been listed as one of the contributors to senator Schumer's election campaign and this has been revealed by the website congress.org, which tracks political donations in the U.S. Accenture's Political Action Committee has also made donations to Iowa's Republican senator Charles Grassley during the 2009-2010 campaign cycle. The senator had reintroduced a stricter H-1B visa reform legislation last year, making it mandatory for outsourcing companies, such as TCS, Wipro and Infosys, to hire local American workers before seeking any H-1B visas for their Indian employees. "The backlash in the US has started taking a very formal legislative shape, we now need the MNCs here to take a stand similar to how we support the anti-piracy movements there," said a chief executive at another Indian tech firm based in Bangalore.
