Politics Briefing: U.S. assassination case sheds light on killing of Sikh activist in Canada
(FILES) A member of United Hindu Front organisation holds a banner depicting Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a lawyer believed to be based in Canada designated as a Khalistani terrorist by the Indian authorities, during a rally in New Delhi on September 24, 2023. An Indian national has been charged with plotting to assassinate a Sikh separatist leader on US soil, the Justice Department said on November 29, 2023, alleging an Indian government official was also involved in the planning. The news comes after the White House said last week it was treating an alleged plot to assassinate a Sikh separatist on American soil with "utmost seriousness," and had raised the issue with the Indian government. The Financial Times reported that same day that US authorities had thwarted a conspiracy to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a US and Canadian citizen.
