Canberra | Anthony Albanese told a reporter to “chill out” after he was asked about claims Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government was behind the murder of a Sikh leader in Canada.

Mr Albanese, who has forged a close relationship with Mr Modi as part of a regional alliance against China, was pressed after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he raised concerns with Mr Modi on the sidelines of the G20 summit in New Delhi earlier this month.
