Dharamsala (HP), July 03: A 'harmony' march will be
organised in Melbourne on July 12 against the attacks on
Indians, a visiting delegation of Australian parliamentarians
said here today, asserting that Canberra was taking effective
steps to curb the "disgraceful" incidents.
"It (attacks on Indian students in Australia) is
disgraceful and shocking," ruling Labour MP Micheal Danky, who
led the delegation, told reportes at Mcleodganj, about 22 km
from here at the headquarters of Tibetan government in-exile.
"It is not the Australian way... the government is
closely watching the events to effectively check such
incidents," Danky added.
The lawmaker pointed that the number of students
coming to Australia had increased manifold in recent years.
He said a harmony march is being organised in
Melbourne on July 12 against the attacks on Indians.
The sic-member delegation comprising representatives
of all major parties of Australia is here to meet Tibetan
spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.
