“It is unfortunate that the government is trying to exclude students from any meaningful discussion,” Amit Menghani, President of Federation of Indian Students in Australia (FISA), said.

“FISA believes that by not allowing Indian students to speak at the Harmony Walk the organisers of the walk have largely undone the positive efforts the government has taken in the last couple of weeks,” he said in a press statement.
