New Delhi: Expressing outrage at the attack on its students in Melbourne, India asked Australia to ensure that such incidents do not recur.
External Affairs Minister S M Krishna reminded Australia about its responsibility to ensure the well-being and security of Indian students studying in that country.
“I have been appalled at the attack on our students in Melbourne,” Krishna said in a statement in the Capital while commenting on the assault on four Indian students, one of whom is battling for life in a hospital in Melbourne.
“We will impress upon the Australian authorities that such attacks should not be permitted,” he said.
