Indian NSA Doval summoned in US court over Sikh leader killing plot

An American court has summoned India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval in connection with a plot to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a lawyer for the Sikh for Justice (SFJ) organization.

The summons comes after Pannun filed a lawsuit in the US court alleging that the Indian government, specifically the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), was involved in a conspiracy to kill him. Pannun presented substantial evidence to support his claim of RAW’s involvement in the assassination plot.

Pannun, a vocal advocate for Khalistan, claims targeted for his efforts to promote the movement and organize a referendum for a separate Sikh state. He argues that the Indian government, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is silencing those who criticize its human rights abuses and oppression.

The lawsuit alleges that the plot was orchestrated against individuals who advocate for self-determination. Pannun stated that he will continue to organize the global Khalistan referendum, even if it means risking his life for the cause of freedom.

Pannun’s accusations highlight the growing international concern over India’s alleged involvement in terrorist activities and conspiracies in other countries. The international community is urged to take decisive action to curb Modi’s nefarious ambitions.

The lawsuit accuses Modi of orchestrating a campaign of violence and intimidation through RAW to silence dissent and suppress the Khalistan movement. The US court’s decision to summon Doval signifies the growing international scrutiny of India’s actions.
