The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on December 10, 2023 “strongly” denied that a written order was issued last April to deal with the threat of Khalistan sympathisers in the western countries. The remark from MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi came soon after the U.S.-based online news outlet The Intercept reported that the official order was signed by Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra and listed several pro-Khalistan figures that included Hardeep Singh Nijjar who was killed in an incident in Surrey, British Columbia on June 18, 2023.
“We strongly assert that such reports are fake and completely fabricated. There is no such memo,” said Mr. Bagchi in response to the report that indicated India’s growing impatience with the Khalistan figures in the western countries… THE HINDU BUREAU
"Insofar as the US is concerned, certain inputs were given to us as part of our security cooperation with the United States. Those inputs were of concern to us because they (were) related to the nexus of organised crime, trafficking and other matters,” said Jaishankar at the Rajya Sabha. He added that because this had a bearing on India’s national security, it was decided to constitute an inquiry committee.
The questions were asked, and subsequently answered, after the US Justice Department brought charges against an Indian man, Nikhil Gupta, who, they alleged, was working in cahoots with an Indian government employee to kill Pannun, a plan that was eventually foiled.
The US State Department said that they are waiting for the results of India’s investigation. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller, in a briefing, told reporters, “We have noted at the most senior levels of this government, the Secretary of State has raised this directly with his foreign counterpart that we take this issue very seriously. They told us they would conduct an investigation. They have publicly announced an investigation and now we'll wait to see the results of the investigation. It's something we take very seriously."
