It's our fault, not hers: Tsalitis sees the situation with Vishwanath's citizenship as humiliating Juris Tsalitis, theologian and Lutheran priest, former dean of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Latvia, commented on the story of granting citizenship to the Indian scientist Divya Kanan Vishwanath. After the Seimas decided to grant her citizenship, Latvian social networks began to express doubts about Vishwanath's education and scientific publications - as a result, the Seimas hastily canceled the granting of citizenship. Tsalitis called this whole epic a shame for the Latvian authorities. "Shame on Latvia and the administrative bodies that were involved in all this. This again proves their helplessness and helplessness. They live in a kind of cloud! If a mistake has been made, it must be admitted, the mess should be sorted out by those who started it, not by those who suffered. I can't imagine what could be funnier than this issue that we are solving from all of Latvia. Now she (Vishwanath - editor) is required to prove that she is a scientist, and so on. I don't remember a single time when someone had to justify himself: yes, I deserved this award, yes, thank you, yes, I'll show you the documents! like children I don't know if the responsible authorities realize how stupid and ridiculous this all seems. How humiliating it is for Latvia! It's terrible. And we continue in the same spirit. Well, it's time to call it quits! A mistake was made. Was there even a mistake? I think not! And even if we assume there was a mistake. It's our mistake! Not her fault! " he said.
