Gurpatwant Singh Pannun Case: The US is continuously taking a tough stand in the case of alleged conspiracy to kill Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. On Wednesday, US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said that his country has constantly insisted India to provide updated information related to the investigation in the Gurpatwant Singh Pannu case. Washington has made it clear that it wants accountability in the case of the Sikh separatist leader.
US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said that the US has raised this issue strongly and directly with the Indian government. Last week, Campbell and US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan returned to the US after a visit to India. Campbell made these comments against India during a press conference related to this visit. He said, “We have had a constructive dialogue with India regarding the Gurpatwant Singh Pannu case, they have taken note of our concerns.”
America wants accountability from India
Deputy Foreign Minister Kurt Campbell said, “We have made it clear that we want accountability from the Indian government. Apart from this, we have always asked for an updated report of the Indian government’s investigation committee.” He said, “On this issue, I will only say that we have raised it with the Indian government at a high level.” In fact, during the press conference after returning from India, American journalists were asking Campbell questions related to Gurpatwant Singh Pannu.
Gurpatwant Singh wanted in India
In November last year, US prosecutors accused Indian citizen Nikhil Gupta of plotting the alleged murder of Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. An Indian officer is also said to be involved in this failed conspiracy. Pannu, involved in terrorist activities, is a wanted criminal in India, who has dual citizenship of America and Canada.
