Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has told a reporter to"chill out a bit" after being asked whether he regretted calling his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi"the boss".
"Your foreign ministry says it's raised concerns with the Indian government about its alleged role in the death of a Sikh activist in Canada, have you raised those concerns personally with Mr Modi at the G20, and do you regret calling him a boss when he visited in Australia?" the reporter asked. "And I made the point that the reception he got from the community... the Indian diaspora welcomed him very strongly, it's as simple as that."I have had the privilege of being at the G20 hosted by India. That was a major event which signalled in part the rise of countries in our region."
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told parliament on Monday the allegations were"an extremely serious matter", and he raised the issue with Mr Modi at the G20 summit. "Last week at the G20 I brought them personally and directly to Prime Minister Modi in no uncertain terms.
