Modi Addresses Alleged Murder Plot Against Sikh Leader

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has addressed the allegations of India's alleged links to an assassination plot in the US, stating that India will investigate any evidence provided. In November, the US charged an Indian man with conspiring to murder a Sikh separatist leader in New York. The target of the assassination attempt, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, is a dual US-Canadian citizen and a vocal supporter of the Khalistan movement. India has designated Pannun as a terrorist, but he denies the allegation. The recent accusations of extra-judicial killings of Sikh separatists have strained India's ties with the US, but Modi expressed confidence in the upward trajectory of the relationship, emphasizing the strong bipartisan support for strengthening the partnership.
