PM Modi breaks silence on US’s Pannun murder plot charge

PM Narendra Modi has, for the first time, responded to US allegations about India’s involvement in the assassination plot of a Sikh extremist, saying that New Delhi will look into any evidence provided by Washington. In an exclusive interview with Financial Times, PM Modi added that a “few incidents” will not affect ties between India and US. The US Justice Department had last month charged an Indian citizen with plotting to assassinate Sikh terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu on US soil, alleging an Indian government official was also involved in the planning.
