STORY: :: A U.S.-Canadian Sikh separatist who was the target of an alleged India-led murder plot speaks out
:: New York
:: Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, Sikh separatist
:: “The Narendra Modi regime has basically set up a whole spy network in America, starting from these consulates in New York to California.”
:: Gurpatwant Singh Pannun says Canada and the U.S. must get tougher on the Indian government
“They need to put their foot down that regimes like Modi, they should not be, they should not be allowed to come to America or Canada, challenge their sovereignty and get away with it. They need to put their foot down and close permanently these Indian consulates who spy on Americans and Canadians.”
The U.S. Justice Department has unsealed indictments against two Indian nationals in connection with an alleged plot to kill Pannun in New York.
The two accused included an ex-government official, who the indictment said worked as an intelligence officer at the time and had orchestrated the assassination plan.
Pannun told Reuters that the Modi government should not be allowed to conduct hostile activity in foreign countries and said India’s consulates in the U.S. and Canada were running a “spy network”, although he did not provide any proof.
Pannun did not elaborate on the alleged spy network. Similar assertions have been made by Sikh activists in America and Canada.
India’s foreign ministry did not respond to detailed questions from Reuters regarding Pannun’s allegations. India, where Pannun was born, has labelled him a terrorist since 2020.
Authorities in the U.S. and Canada declined comment on Pannun’s allegations.
