NewsX: United States of America holds up immunity for Devyani Khobragade

Out on bail in New York, Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade doesn't have the diplomatic card that Wednesday's posting to her new workplace- the Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations- entitles her to.New Delhi sought to provide a diplomatic shield around Devyani by shifting her to the UN mission from its New York Consulate because that would give the IFS officer complete immunity from possible arrest or any custodial procedure in the future according to the Vienna Convention, but the US is still sitting over her diplomatic Identity Card. " We have applied for the diplomatic ID card for Devyani but we haven't heard from them," Devyani's lawyer Dan Arshack told in New York.The application for the new diplomatic card was made through the UN Secretariat, but its final clearance is a matter for the US State Department to deal with.
