Attacks on Indians in Australia not good for ties: Krishna

New Delhi, Jan 20 (PTI) Continued attacks on Indians in
Australia do not "augur well" for bilateral ties, External
Affairs Minister of India S M Krishna said here on Wednesday.

The minister was reacting to the latest attack on an
Indian in Melbourne which was the fifth such assault on
Indian cabbies within a week.
Krishna said he was expecting a report from the Indian
High Commissioner to Australia on the incident.
"I have just heard the news. I am expecting a report from
our High Commissioner and after getting the report perhaps I
must have something to say.
"But it is very unfortunate that they keep repeating,
which does not augur well for our bilateral relationship," the
minister said.
Krishna has already indicated a possibility of Government
advising Indian students not to go to Australia if the attacks
on them, which has claimed one life so far, continued. PTI PYK
