New Delhi, January 10: BJP today accused the government of “insensibility” over the issue of attacks on Indians in Australia, saying this became clear when the External Affairs Ministry asked media to exercise restraint instead of finding a solution to the issue.
The party also accused the government of “intending to gag” media by asking it to exercise restraint in the coverage of the attacks in Australia and sought a categorical answer from the Centre.
“The most worrisome issue is that the Ministry Of External Affairs asks media to exercise restraint. We are concerned that when things are getting worst day by day in Australia, government is not accepting it and moreover it is asking media to exercise restrain instead of finding a solution,” BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy told reporters here.
