A street in Sydney, Australia, was on Tuesday officially renamed as "Little India" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese during a special community event.
During the address, he said: "I've heard that Chatkazz 'Chaat' and 'Jalebi' from Jaipur Sweets at Harris Park are very delicious. I want you all to take my friend Australian PM Albanese to that place."
Modi thanked his Australian counterpart for supporting him in unveiling the foundation stone of 'Little India', a suburb of Sydney.
A gunman fired a shot through the front window of a crowded Indian restaurant at Harris Park in Sydney's west, the second such incident in last four months in the area.
The Australian police today denied racial motive behind a string of violent attacks on Indian students recently in Sydney's west, even as the community members organised an angry protest rally in Harris Park of the city last night.
Indian students on Thursday alleged that Lebanese youths were behind the racially-motivated attacks on them in Australia as they took to the streets for the third consecutive night protesting against racial attacks.
Indian community leaders have asked students protesting against the racial attacks on them in Australia to put an end to their street rallies, saying they have already served the purpose.
