Click to play videoNew Delhi: The anger over the death of two Indians killed in Australia in the past week continues to boil. A team of doctors sent by the Australian Embassy to Patiala confirmed that the charred remains found in Australia on January 1 are that of Ranjot Singh, a New South Wales farmer who is an Indian national.
However, Australia has continued to deny the charge that this was a racist attack.
A day after the Australia's acting Foreign Minister Simon Crean blamed the Indian leadership for whipping up hysteria against attacks on Indians, a defensive High Commission to India has put the blame to the Indian media.
Australian envoy to India Peter Verghese said, “I think the Indian media coverage has been mixed, some of them have been responsible and balanced and factual, but I think other parts of the Indian media have exaggerated the story.”
In Canberra, the Australian deputy PM also called India's travel advisories warning Australia based students and tourists not to stay out late as exaggerated.
Julia Gillard said, “The factual situation is that Australia is a very safe country.”
Meanwhile, the family of Ranjot Singh want their brother’s body brought back to India.
Ranjot’s brother Satnam Singh has requested the Government that this brother’s body be brought back in India.
The Indian Government chose to stay silent over the Australian government's strong reaction but officials say they will keep the pressure on Australia until cases like Nitin's and Ranjot's are prevented in the future.
