Australia lectured on the uncivilised practice of allowing people to be murdered

New Delhi's The Pioneer newspaper on Wednesday:

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his son Sukhbir Singh Badal, who is deputy chief minister, met Australian high commissioner to India Peter Varghese on Wednesday and sought steps to ensure safety of Punjabi students and immigrants in that country. The memorandum submitted to the high commissioner said: "We are constrained to draw your kind attention to the mounting concern in the minds of the people of Punjab over the growing incidence of racist attacks against Punjabi immigrants living in Australia." The memorandum further pointed out that the incidents went against the spirit of any civilised society.
