Krishna warns Australian Govt over attack on Indian student | External Affairs Minister SM Krishna on Sunday condemned the attack on 21-year-old Indian student Nitin Garg in Melbourne, and warned the Australian Government that if it does not take action on the ongoing attacks, India will be forced to take a firm decision. Addressing
the media in Bangalore, Krishna said: “We were under the impression that the
message
had been registered with the people and the Government of Australia. We were
assured
by the (Australian) Prime Minister that the Government of Australia and the
provinces
would take the most stringent actions according to the law of the land. I hope
even in this case the police authorities will accelerate the process of investigation
and would take and bring the culprits to justice.” “I would like to convey that
if more attacks to this nature continue to take place in Australia then the Government
of India will have to sincerely think as to what other courses of action that
lies with Government of India and I am hoping that Government of India will not
be pushed to take such positions,” Krishna added. The External Affairs Minister
further said that he was in constant touch with the Australian High Commission
and getting all the updates on the happening. According to reports, Garg was walking
to his workplace of a fast food restaurant at West Foorscray, a suburb of Melbourne
on Saturday night when some unidentified assailants attacked him in a park. Police
said that Garg managed to stagger 300 metres to the restaurant before collapsing.
He was later rushed to Royal Melbourne Hospital, where he died. |
