The External Affairs Minister's remarks came amid reports of the Swiss couple -- Quentin Jeremy Clerc and Marie Droxz -- stalked, harassed and assaulted with stones and sticks in Agra by a group of young men for over an hour on Sunday. They were admitted to a hospital in Agra after the attack. The couple had reportedly come to India on September 30 and were in Agra for a two-day visit. On Sunday, they planned to go to Fatehpur Sikri when they were attacked.
