One would likewise unhesitatingly applaud If, when Indians are ill treated abroad, Our PM would likewise publicly complain so that their legitimate grievances are not spurned. - Shanti Dhoot RE: *British PM concerned about tourists' safety in Goa* 16 May 2008, [image: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/images/spacer.gif] PTI LONDON: UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has expressed concern over the safety of British tourists in Goa and said that his government was ready to work with the Indian authorities to improve their safety at the tourist hotspot.
