HYDERABAD: A group of Indians in Australia have taken up the issue of alleged offensive posters and banners put up against Prime minister Narendra Modi in their area and urged the authorities to get them removed immediately.
Prashanth Kadaparthi, who hails from Hyderabad, brought the issue to the notice of the local authorities of Paramatta in New South Wales.
“Such anti-social behaviour should be condemned and stopped. This is not acceptable in this place of multiculturalism,” Kadaparthi said.
He urged the federal, state and local government to bring the culprits to book so that such acts are not repeated.
“Hatred has no space in Australia,” he said.
Another Indian, Goverdhan Reddy Muddam, said these posters had been put up at three places in Harris Park and police have already been notified.
