Pannun Assassination News: US Target Ajit Doval Team Modi RAW After CAA And Kejriwal Washington Post Report

Washington: Diplomatic tension between India and America is increasing between the Lok Sabha elections. America has made nefarious moves in the case of CAA, Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest and now in the case of Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. America has given an open statement in the CAA and Kejriwal case, while the American official has taken the name of the then Chief of Indian Intelligence Agency RAW, Samant Goyal, on the alleged conspiracy to murder Pannu, and has targeted National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. American newspaper Washington Post has claimed that American officials believe that the order to kill Pannu was given by the former RAW chief and had the approval of senior intelligence officers who have ‘connections with PM Narendra Modi’s inner circle’. India has rejected the Washington Post report quoting American officials and termed it irresponsible. American officials have also named alleged RAW agent Vikram Yadav. Vikram is accused of giving all the information about Pannu to the killer, including the New York address of the Khalistani terrorist. After leaking information about Pannu case to Washington Post, America is now claiming that India is taking seriously the allegations related to conspiracy to murder Pannu in America. White House Press Secretary Carine Jean-Pierre gave this statement on Monday. The Washington Post, quoting US officials, has claimed that a US-based RAW officer named Vikram Yadav was involved in the conspiracy to murder Pannu and the move was approved by Samant Goyal, the then head of the Indian spy agency.

America put pressure on India to take action

Pannu is one of the prominent leaders of the Khalistan movement and is the legal advisor and spokesperson of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ). The purpose of SFJ is to promote the idea of ​​a separate Sikh nation. The Indian government has declared Pannu a terrorist. Jean-Pierre said an investigation is ongoing and the Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation. He said India is an important strategic partner for the US and ‘we are pursuing an ambitious agenda to enhance our cooperation in many areas.’

Regarding the investigative report on the alleged plot to murder Pannu, Jean-Pierre said, ‘This is a serious matter and we are taking it very seriously. The Government of India has told us very clearly that they are taking this seriously and will get it investigated. He said, ‘We expect accountability from the government on the basis of investigation. But we will continue to raise our concerns. This is not going to stop. We will continue to raise our concerns directly with the Government of India. It is clear from Pierre’s statement that she is putting pressure on the Indian government to take action.

What is the report claiming on Ajit Doval?

Not only this, the list of Indian officials involved in this alleged conspiracy does not stop here. The Washington Post reported that US intelligence agencies have made a more tentative assessment that ‘India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval was probably aware of RAW’s plan to kill Pannu, but US officials insisted that there was no concrete evidence. The evidence has not surfaced. This report claims that the alleged conspiracy to kill Pannu in America coincides with the fatal shooting of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18 in Surrey, British Columbia province of Canada last June. According to officials of Western countries, that campaign was also linked to Yadav.

What did India say on the American newspaper’s claim?

A news from the US newspaper ‘The Washington Post’ on Tuesday said India said that the news has made “unwarranted and baseless” allegations in a serious matter. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, ‘The report makes unwanted and baseless allegations in a serious matter.’ He said, ‘The Government of India has constituted a high-level committee to investigate the security concerns shared by the US Government on the networks of organized criminals, terrorists and others, the investigation is underway.’ “There is no need for speculative and irresponsible comments on this,” Jaiswal said.

In November last year, US federal prosecutors had accused Indian national Nikhil Gupta of collaborating with an Indian government official in a foiled plot to assassinate Sikh separatist Pannu in the US. Pannu, who is wanted in India on terrorism charges, has dual citizenship of the US and Canada. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar had said in Parliament on December 7 that India has constituted an investigation committee to investigate the information received from America in this matter because the country’s national interests are also linked to this matter.

Indian expert rebuked America

Former Foreign Secretary of India Kanwal Sibal believes that instead of waiting for the ongoing hearing in New York, America’s intelligence agencies have started doing mischief by influencing the media. This article contains a lot of speculations to support negative rhetoric at the time of Lok Sabha elections in India. America wants the connections of the PM’s inner circle to be investigated. Joke. Sibal demanded from the Indian government to investigate the conversations with former intelligence officers of Washington Post.
