Australian PM Albanese Urges Senator Jacinta Price to Apologise over Remarks on Indian Migrants

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has urged Liberal Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price to apologise after she claimed that an unsustainable number of Indians were migrating to the country. In a recent radio interview, Price said that large numbers of Indians had been allowed to migrate to Australia to vote for Albanese’s centre-left Labour Party. The comment sparked backlash from the Australian-Indian community and members of her own party.
 
Mr Albanese told a news channel today that the comments are not true, asserting that Price should apologise to the Indian Community. The state government of New South Wales held a meeting of community groups today to discuss what it said was rising anti-Indian sentiment. Premier Chris Minns said they have no place in Australia. External Affairs Ministry had said last week it was engaging with Canberra over the rise in anti-Indian sentiment following the protests.
