| Unfazed by Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's warning against "vigilante action", Indian students took to the streets for the third consecutive night in Sydney to protest against continued racial attacks on them even as community leaders sought an end to such rallies. Indian students last night took to the streets of Harris Park in Sydney for the third consecutive night to protest at what they claim are racially motivated attacks. The protesters alleged that police were ignoring their pleas for protection.
Meanwhile, Parramatta city council held a meeting with police, India's Consul General and members of Sydney's Indian community, with organisers saying students had agreed to stop protest rallies. Yadu Singh, coordinator of the Indian Consul General's community committee on Indian students' issues, said the meeting ended with calls for an end to the protests. "One thing is clear - the rallies have served their purpose and we don't want any more rallies in Harris Park, that is the community's view," Singh said, adding "They are disrupting the normal life of the people in the suburbs."
