Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh government on Sunday decided to sponsor the journey of the parents of Mir Kazim Ali Khan, the Hyderabad student who was injured in a racist attack last week, to Australia.
The state government would help the parents of Khan to bring him back if they wanted, a release from the Chief Minister's Office said here on Sunday.
The release said Khan's mother and brother would go to Australia as his father is old and unable to travel abroad.
The state government is willing to provide Khan treatment in Hyderabad and meet his medical expenses, it said.
The release said the state government has also arranged for Tatkal passport to Khan's mother to visit Australia.
Hyderabad Lok Sabha member and Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) president, Mr Asaduddin Owaisi, had earlier represented to the Chief Minister to help the parents of Khan to go to Australia.
Khan, pursuing hospitality course from Victoria Institute of Technology, was walking near a railway station in eastern suburb of Melbourne on June 22 when two Caucasian men, wearing hooded jackets, walked-up to him and assaulted him without any provocation.
