Indian students are being "singled out"
and targeted in Australia, External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said on
Tuesday, urging Canberra to do some introspection and address the issue.
"There are so many foreign students in
Australia. Why such attacks happen on Indian students only? They are being
singled out," Krishna told reporters when asked about continuous attacks
in Australia that have created a huge public outrage in India.
"This needs some introspection on the
part of the Australian and New South Wales government," he said.
Krishna said New Delhi had received no such
complaints from the US where nearly 100,000 Indian students are studying.
