Concerned over continuing ’racial attacks’ on Indian students in Australia, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) President N Chandrababu Naidu today urged the Centre to send a Parliamentary delegation to that country to stop such attacks.
The Centre and the State Government remained a ’’mute spectator’’ to the continuing attacks on Indian students, including those from Andhra Pradesh, the former Chief Minister contended while addressing a party review meeting at the ’’NTR Bhavan’’, the party headquarters here.
’’It is just not enough on the part of the Centre to restrict itself to issuing press statements,’’ he opined.He appealed to the Centre to send immediately an all-party delegation to Melbourne as the future of over one lakh Indian students, including 30,000 from the state, in Australia was at stake.
Noting the Supreme Court had intervened in the matter, he claimed the Centre was yet to respond to the notice issued by the apex court.The TDP on its own sent a party delegation, headed by its Parliamentary party leader N Nageswara Rao, to Australia to study the condition of students there and express solidarity with them in this hour of crisis, he pointed out.
The latest victim was one M A Khan, who was studying Hospitality Management course at the Victoria Institute of Technology (VIT). He was punched on the face by two unidentified people on June 22.
This was the 16th incident of attack on Indian students in Australia in less than one month, he claimed.
