I was wondering if the same would have happened if he was a British os US citizen instead of asian/Indian. The charge is of having left a SIM card with his cousins while leaving UK(which many does when they have lots of contaracted period remaining on the card).I he had any knowledge of this card being used for terrorist activity or not is upto the legal system to determine. It is unfair that the Australian immigration minister brought in such a childish ploy to tap on the public's general anti-asian senetments in the aftermath of any terrorist incident, same as UK police trying repeatedly to get 6 months to question suspects without trial. At the same time one should note how two british girls arrested with drugs in possession in Ghana last week are potrayed in UK as innocent victims of international drug barons and are being visited by the bristish consular officials regularly. The Indian government should make its presence felt by ensuring a fair trial and finding the truth, rather than giving up on its citizens because they are accused by western powers of terrorist activity.Remember, all fair legal systems consider suspects innocent untill proven guilty and some sane thought of justice should be left behind even in this period of world wide terrorism.Otherwise there will be no difference between what terrorists do and what civilised societies do.Both will continue to invoke hatred.
