Clarifying his remarks branding Indian IT firms like Infosys as “chop shops”, US Senator Charles Schumer said he meant to call them “body shops,” even as he insisted that the purpose of raising fee for H-1B visa was not to target Indian companies.
Schumer, the Democrat Senator from New York said: “I do want to clarify a previous remark which mischaracterised these firms where I labelled them as ‘chop shops’. That statement was incorrect. In the tech industry, these firms are known as ‘body shops’. That is what I should have said.”
