"Alleged 'Plot to Kill Pannun' Threatens US-India Relations, Warn Indian-American Lawmakers"

All five Indian-American members of the United States House of Representatives have urged India to hold accountable those responsible for an alleged plot to assassinate a Khalistani Sikh extremist in New York, including government officials. They warned that failure to fully investigate and address the allegations could cause significant damage to the partnership between the two nations. The US Department of Justice has accused an Indian government official of involvement in the plot, following a similar claim by Canada. The allegations have strained diplomatic relations, with expulsions of diplomats and travel advisories issued. The US allegation comes as President Biden declined Prime Minister Modi's invitation to attend India's Republic Day ceremony, casting a shadow over bilateral ties.
