AUSTRLIA-ATTACK 3 LST

A partially-built gurdwara was also damaged in a blaze
on Wednesday, and the police is probing the possibility of
arsonists using Molotov cocktails in the incident.
Meanwhile, in a candid admission in the wake of a
spate of attacks on Indians, a top Victorian police official
today said there were racists in Melbourne and the issue
needed to be discussed to tackle an upswing in street crime
the brunt of which is being borne by Indians.
"Part of that (statement) is being absolutely upfront
about every society having racism and racists," Victorian
Deputy Police Commissioner Ken Jones was quoted as saying by
'The Australian'.
However, he said racism was not endemic in this city.
"We have got murderers and rapists, but for a developed
country, less than our share. We've got less than our share of
racists, but we have got them." PTI
