Revolution Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Quote US authorities thwarted a conspiracy to assassinate a Sikh separatist on American soil and issued a warning to India’s government over concerns it was involved in the plot, according to multiple people familiar with the case. The target of the plot was Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, an American and Canadian citizen who is general counsel for Sikhs for Justice, a US-based group that is part of a movement pushing for an independent Sikh state called “Khalistan”. The people familiar with the case, who requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the intelligence that prompted the warning, did not say whether the protest to New Delhi led the plotters to abandon their plan, or whether the FBI intervened and foiled a scheme already in motion. The US informed some allies about the plot following the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian Sikh separatist killed in Vancouver in June. In September, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there were “credible allegations” linking New Delhi to Nijjar’s fatal shooting. India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata party is a Hindu nationalist party, and Modi has been accused by his political opponents and human rights groups of fomenting violence against religious and ethnic minorities in India. https://www.ft.com/content/56f7d6d6-6a93-4172-a49e-d8a91991e29d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBeMe Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 India sadly succeeded and killed two Sikh separatists in Canada this year though. It has caused a major diplomatic issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Megamind Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 The punjab separatist issue is not at all strong within India but I don't know why it is strong in the expat Punjabis. And irrespective of how volatile this issue becomes in the future, no government in India left or right is EVER going to let it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
