Here's what External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said:

************************************************************

India has sought strengthening of security around places of worship in the United States and urged Washington to come out with a strong message of reassurance to the Indian community following the Wisconsin gurdwara shooting that left six dead.

In a telephonic conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday evening, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S.M. Krishna also requested a full and prompt investigation into the killings.

Satisfied with the steps taken by the law enforcing agencies, Mr. Krishna expressed “sincere appreciation for a quick and brave response by local authorities in averting a worse tragedy,” said official sources here who maintained that Ms. Clinton was “receptive” to the EAM’s message and assured assistance.

‘Against U.S. policies’

Earlier, Mr. Krishna told the media that the killings in a place of worship ran counter to the proclaimed policies of the U.S. government and felt the U.S. would have to revisit its liberal gun laws in the light of recent incidents.

“I think they will have to certainly take a comprehensive look at this kind of tendency which certainly is not going to bring credit to the U.S.,” he told the media.

“But we will certainly not interfere in the internal affairs of the U.S. I think it is for them to decide the next course of action,” he added.

************************************************************

I think it's wise that Minister Krishna stay out of U.S. internal affairs. If he's saying he wants a crackdown on gun ownership in the U.S., he won't have many friends in the U.S.--maybe about 30% of the population, the people who always vote for insane Socialist policies.
