| June 17, 2009 | | 'Indian students are safe in Queensland' | | The Indian Australian community in Queensland, Australia, has told
a round table forum here that all Indian students residing in the state and other
southern states are safe from Honorary Consul of India Professor
Sarva-Daman Singh said he had asked about such problems as he moved through the
Indian community. "Nothing has come to my notice of an untoward nature so far.
Nothing of a disturbing nature has come to my ears yet," The Age quoted Professor
Singh, as saying. Professor Singh and other leaders met with parliamentary Speaker
John Mickel, Minister for Communities Annastacia Palaszczuk, Education Minister
Geoff Wilson and police in a round table forum to discuss any problems within
the community generally and in particular with the 12,000 Indian students studying
and working in Queensland. "Queensland appears to be in a happy state of development.
We do not appear to have that ugliness coming to the fore that concerns us around
the country, and I hope it stays that way," Professor Singh said. Assistant Commissioner
Ian Stewart said the police service was not aware of any racial attacks on Indians.
