Concerned over reports of some Indian students in Australia retaliating in the wake of spate of attacks on them, Government on Tuesday asked them to exercise restraint.
"I would like to urge the Indian students to be patient and show restraint. They have gone there (Australia) for higher studies. They should concentrate on that rather than retaliate," External Affairs Minister SM Krishna told reporters outside Parliament House on Tuesday.
He said the Australian Government has given "fullest assurance" that steps will be taken to ensure the safety of Indian students.
A 20-year-old man was stabbed in Melbourne on Monday after he had allegedly racially abused a group of Indian students here in possibly the first act of retaliation.

Yes, show restraint because these students are not muslim terrorist or related to Indian Muslim UK airport bomber.
