Working president of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) K.T. Rama Rao has assured the family of Sai Krishna, a student pursuing higher education in the US who was shot at by a gang of robbers in Detroit three days ago, to help them reach US.
Parents of Sai Krishna hailing from Mahabubabad met Mr. Rama Rao at the Chief Minister’s camp office here on Tuesday and sought help in visiting the US to take care of their injured son. He assured them that the government would make arrangements for their visit and enquired about Sai Krishna’s condition.
The parents said that his condition was stable but several surgeries are needed for his recovery. They also mentioned that they need financial assistance to meet medical expenses since their son has no medical insurance cover.
Mr. Rama Rao informed the worried parents that the NRI wing of the party had already taken up the matter with Consulate General of India there and if necessary, he would also speak to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj for further help. Mahabubabad MP A. Seetaram Naik had already met Ms. Swaraj and requested help for Sai Krishna.
Mr. Rama Rao also spoke to US Consul General Katherine B. Hadda here requesting her help in sanction of visa to the parents of Sai Krishna on emergency basis. He also assured financial help required for travel and other needs.
