UK Foreign Minister James Cleverly, who is in Delhi for the G20 summit, took up the BBC tax 'survey' episode with the Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar during a bilateral meet in the national capital on Wednesday, a Reuters report said. 

However, the minister was told strongly that all entities must comply with laws, according to a NDTV report. 

Searches were conducted by the CBDT at the British Broadcaster's Delhi and Mumbai offices last month. As the UK govt jumped in to defend BBC, the raids triggered protests and made headlines across the globe. 

The searches were conducted at a time when the Indian govt had reacted strongly by banning BBC's 2-part documentary on PM Narendra Modi.
