New Delhi: The attack on African students in Greater Noida found echo in the Rajya Sabha, with Deputy Chairman P J Kurien and members expressing concern, following which the government promised an impartial probe. Kurien condemned the incident that took place just on the outskirts of Delhi.

"we are condemning racial attacks on Indians in other countries and at the same time racial attacks in our country cannot be justified. The government should be very vigilant and very strong action should be taken," he said. Replying to the concerns voiced by the members during the Zero Hour, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said the incident was "unfortunate" and the Centre has sought a report from the state government.
