India's Divergent Reactions to Nijjar and Pannun: Unraveling the Discrepancy

India's responses to allegations of its involvement in plots against Khalistan separatists differ between Canada and the United States. While India vehemently denied Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations and retaliated by expelling diplomats and issuing travel advisories, its response to the US report on an alleged assassination plot was more cooperative. The nature of the revelations, the depth of India's ties with each country, and the strategic importance of the Indo-US partnership likely influenced India's differing responses. The outcome of the investigations will impact the course of India's relations with both countries.
