Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton announced on Saturday that the former Islamic State recruiter has lost the Australian citizenship for engaging terrorism.

Prakash was born in Melbourne to a Fijian father and Cambodian mother.

However, reports have emerged that Fiji's Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama stated to a local newspaper that  Prakash "cannot come here because he does not qualify".

However, the Australian government has reiterated that it stands by decision to strip Prakash's citizenship.
