Ensure safety of Indian students in Oz: Krishna

New Delhi, May 28: India expressed shock over the attack on its students in Melbourne and asked Australia to ensure the safety of the students.

SM Krishna, the newly appointed External Affairs Minister reminded Australia about its responsibility to ensure the well-being and security of the Indian students studying there.

While commenting on the assault on four Indian students, one of whom is in critical condition, Krishna said, "I have been appalled at the attack on our students in Melbourne." "We will impress upon the Australian authorities that such attacks should not be permitted," he added.
