PM Modi breaks silence on allegation of India's assassination plot to kill Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Pannun in US

In a noteworthy development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has addressed the allegations surrounding an alleged Indian assassination plot targeting Khalistani separatists on US soil for the first time.

The Prime Minister stated, "If any of our citizens have been involved in any actions, positive or negative, we are prepared to investigate. Our commitment is to upholding the rule of law."

Last month, US federal prosecutors charged Indian national Nikhil Gupta, accusing him of collaborating with an Indian government employee in a thwarted plan to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, an American and Canadian citizen. Gupta is currently detained in the Czech Republic and faces extradition to the US.

India has expressed concern over the matter and announced a comprehensive investigation. The country emphasized that subsequent actions will be determined based on the findings of the investigative panel. The External Affairs Ministry of India has established an inquiry committee to examine the information provided by the US in this case.

It's worth noting that in September, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made allegations implicating India in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India dismissed these allegations as "absurd" and politically motivated.

In 2020, India designated Pannun as a terrorist and consistently accused the West of downplaying the Sikh separatist movement. PM Narendra Modi, in an interview with FT, expressed India's longstanding concern about "certain extremist" groups operating overseas. He noted that these elements, masquerading under the guise of freedom of expression, have engaged in intimidation and incitement of violence.

Pannun recently released a video message, threatening to "shake the very foundation of Parliament" on December 13, the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attack on Parliament. In the video, featuring a photo of the 2001 attack convict Afzal Guru, the head of the banned organization Sikhs for Justice claimed that the Modi government attempted to assassinate him and warned of retaliation on December 13.

Earlier in the month, Pannun released another video urging Sikhs not to travel on Air India aircraft after November 19, citing potential threats to their lives.

Exposing How the Muslim Brotherhood Fuels Instability Behind a Political Facade

  The Muslim Brotherhood started in Egypt during 1928 since then it has portrayed itself as a combination of political organization and social movement working for Islamic values and governance. jinakata the Brotherhood displays an intricate web that connects extremist concepts and violent deeds which produce regional turmoil. The Ideological Foundations The Brotherhood bases its ideology upon the teachings of Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb.
