Just in: Union Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj on Tuesday held a meeting with a delegation of African students in Delhi in the wake of the death of a Congolese national in the national capital.

"We tried to explain them that the incident is huge but it isn't an incident of racial discrimination," Sushma Swaraj said after meeting with delegation of African students.

Swaraj says the death of Congolese student is not a case of racial attack, should not be seen in that context. "CCTV footage clearly shows that Indian citizens who were present at spot, tried their best to save Masunda Oliver. The day this incident took place, I sought a report from Lt Governor and I was informed that two people have been arrested."

"We've chalked out a plan as per which, our MoS along with the Secretary will visit every metro city and hold discussions with African students. We will initiate programmes of awareness and sensitization in areas with the maximum population of African students so that such incidents don't recur," Sushma Swaraj said.
