The Indian government on Wednesday called on the Australian government to take stern action against the perpetrators of alleged racial assaults on Indians in Melbourne, Victoria.
India's top envoy in Australia has assured Indians that the government was 'very closely monitoring' their well-being in this country, as she asked them to not allow 'a few bad elements' to sour the otherwise warm Indo-Australian relationship. Indian High Commissioner Sujatha Singh, who traveled to Melbourne, assured the Indian Sikh community that the perpetrators of the incident of arson on a local gurdwara will be brought to justice by the authorities.
Concerned over a series of attacks on its nationals, India has sought "credible answers" from Australia so that it could send a clear message to worried parents of more than 1.2 lakh Indian students in Australia.
