Scott Morrison’s hand-picked candidate in McMahon accused Narendra Modi of causing “hatred [and] fear” in India and accused him of being “unable to do a press conference at all for fear of being asked a Gujrat or Delhi or All India genocide question”.
Although Vivek Singha’s social media advocacy is unlikely to be decisive in the relatively safe New South Wales Labor seat, the strident criticism of the Indian prime minister could be a source of a significant embarrassment for Morrison, who has closely courted Modi.
