Outsourcing is not an Indian plot to steal American jobs and the US should not condone any unfair punishments to Indian workers, senior US Senator of the opposition Republican Party John McCain has said.

"We cannot allow our anxieties about globalisation to cause us to demonise India for crass political gain. Outsourcing is an inescapable feature of today's global economy, not an Indian plot to steal American jobs, and we should not condone any unfair punishments of Indian workers," McCain said at the Carnegie Endowment for Internatioanl Peace Friday, hours before President Barack Obama left for his maiden visit to India.
