Indian Discussion Forum

Doing his bit to bring together two bitter nations, speedster Brett Lee today said India is safe for the Australians and it was the same other way round.

Lee's assurance comes at a time when the Australian cricketers are little apprehensive about playing in the Indian Premier League, fearing a backlash of the spate of attacks on the Indians in Victoria.

Things became gloomier after Shiv Sena threatened not to allow the Australian cricketers play in Mumbai unless the attack on the Indians ceased here.

Lee, just back from yet another India trip, did his best to assure his compatriots.

"I've just pretty much got off a plane back from India and I certainly haven't had any problems," said the affable pacer.

He also took the occasion to condemn attacks on the Indians but insisted Australia was a safe place for them.
