Anti-immigrant protester breaks into Modi's Melbourne hotel, raises slogans

An anti-immigrant protester named Hugo Lennon disrupted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Australia by breaking into a Melbourne hotel and shouting abusive slogans at the Indian leader. The incident occurred shortly after Modi's arrival in the country for a two-day visit. Lennon later attempted to disrupt Modi's speech to the Indian diaspora at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium but was overwhelmed by the celebratory crowd and forced to leave. According to reports, Lennon is associated with far-right groups and was involved in organizing anti-immigrant protests in Australia. He led a group of protesters outside the stadium, where they displayed signs with racist messages, though their efforts to disrupt the event were largely unsuccessful due to the festive atmosphere.
