India may have maintained a calm disposition so far on the Pannun assassination plot claims by the United States, but it is planning to give a “firm response” to the Joe Biden administration on this issue.

While a high-level inquiry panel set up by New Delhi has started looking into the various inputs provided by Washington related to the different security issues including the “Pannun plot”, India is gearing up to drive its message home through diplomatic channels in the US that its allegation about an Indian national being involved in a conspiracy to kill designated Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on American soil is something that is “contrary to the Indian government policy”. Sources told The Sunday Guardian that “the message that New Delhi has already started conveying to the Biden administration through various channels is that it is wrong of the US and its departments (Department of Justice) to make any public statement that could be seen as fingers being pointed at India’s involvement in the Pannun plot issue”.
