gs Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 RIP victim. Just wondering if the law enforcement in Australia is really hopeless (regardless of if this was a racially motivated killing or not). This whole thing is turning into an international embarrassment for them since their PM is supposed to be using "full force of law". India asks Australia for firm action over student's death Strongly condemning the fatal stabbing of an Indian student in Melbourne, External Affairs Minister SM Krishna on Sunday warned Australia that if such attacks continue, India will be forced to look "for other ways" to address the situation. In a statement, Krishna condemned the knife attack on Nitin Garg, a 21-year-old student, who became the first fatality of New Year in a spate of attacks on the Indian community members continuing from the past year. "The stabbing of the Indian student is brutal and I hope the Australian government will take necessary action and not force India to look to other ways," Krishna told reporters in Bangalore. Garg, who hails from Punjab, was studying accounting in Australia. He was attacked and knifed on Saturday night by a group of unidentified men in a park as he was walking towards a restaurant, where he worked part-time. Krishna has directed the Indian high commissioner in Canberra and the Indian consul general in Melbourne to closely coordinate with the Australian authorities and extend all assistance to the victim's family as well as members of the Indian community, the external affairs ministry said in New Delhi. "If attacks of this nature continue, we will have to seriously think what course of action lies with government of India. I am hoping that the government of India will not be pushed to take such positions," Krishna said. "India will not tolerate (it) any more," he added. The latest attack comes barely two months after Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd visited India and assured that "full force of law" would be used to protect Indian students in that country. The Australian police were quick to deny any racist motive in the attack. "I think to jump to any conclusion like that is presumptuous and may well interfere with the investigations," Senior Sergeant David Snare told reporters in Melbourne when asked about the allegedly racist nature of the attack. The attacks on Indian students started in June last year, eliciting protests from India and putting bilateral ties under stress. The Australian government has repeatedly denied any racist element in the attacks and has put in place a series of security measures to protect Indian students. Nearly 100,000 Indian students study in Australia, contributing around $2 billion to the country's economy.
Desi Cartman Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Its pretty sad but * Its the most unsafe suburb in Melbourne, even whites dont get out alone after dark and this guy decided to walk through the park at night. * Another stabbing happened at the same time some 20-30 kms from that place. That guy would have also died but luckily an ambulance spotted him. My point, crime overall in Melbourne has risen. I just dont understand why Indians continue to live in that suburb. I know its a little cheaper but u cant risk your life
Desi Cartman Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Two kids have been arrested for the killing. Both are around 16yrs old :(( http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/another-teen-charged-over-stabbing-death-of-nitin-garg-20100618-ylit.html

Oh cmon, what do you expect Cops to do..it was such a funny episode, they gotta laugh, man u guys are so sensitive. We should adopt to their humor about us
Clarke Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 "a way to fix the Indian student problem" some kind of final solution

Their job is to protect people, not circulate email showing people getting electrocuted and claim that is one way to handle problems. This is their own commissioner's response, which is more in line with my feeling. Reacting to the scandal, Chief Commissioner Simon Overland described the e-mails as "disturbing, offensive and gross".

yoda Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 You are not good @ getting sarcasm- are you?? not when delivered in a poor way, I guess. after a re-read i can see it now. may be I missed it cause we have had many posters (including Rajiv in the Common wealth game Dixit thread) who think some of us are taking these racism things too seriously.

Roshanrocks Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 its so strange all this... we read the newspapers and we panic about our relatives in elbourne and sydney, we call them up and they say... nothing's going on ..all is well and then we become confused... :blink:
yoda Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I'm fine. I don't need your manufactured sympathy. beware means warning, not sympathy. just showing you both how you were defending ozzie cops before, and now you have evidence right before you.
EnterTheVoid Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 beware means warning, not sympathy. just showing you both how you were defending ozzie cops before, and now you have evidence right before you. Yes, generalize the entire nation's police force on the actions of handful of crooked cops.
