Washington: Washington’s stance has now softened considerably in the case of Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, an American citizen and Khalistani terrorist declared by India. America said that Pannu is a terrorist declared by India. Although he is an American and Canadian citizen. But until the allegation of conspiracy to attempt to murder him is proved in the court, he will not say anything on this matter. America said that it is satisfied with India’s investigation so far in the Pannu case.
US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti said that we are satisfied with India’s steps towards accountability regarding the alleged assassination plot against Khalistani terrorist Pannu. The US State Department said the matter is under investigation and is an ongoing legal matter. Therefore he would “not say anything” until “the charges are proven” in front of a jury. Because Pannu is also a terrorist declared by India. “I will leave the matter at that,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said at a briefing Thursday.
Garcetti said this is a red line for America
On the case of terrorist Pannu, Ambassador Garcetti said that this is a red line for America. However, he is completely satisfied with India’s investigation in this matter. But many steps still need to be taken. When asked about the impact of this matter on relations between India and America, Garcetti said, “When I am talking about a relationship that… there can be ups and downs along the way. This is potentially the first major change in any relationship. There will be a fight.” Garcetti said there is a criminal case.
India has set up an investigation commission “and… we expect that when we have a criminal case brought to US justice, there will be a need for results and shared information. So far… he (India I am satisfied with what has been done. This issue is extremely delicate for both India and the US administration as they seek to build closer ties in the face of shared concerns about China’s growing power.
