The White House has responded to reports that Indian espionage agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), plotted to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a Sikh activist and American citizen, on U.S. soil in 2023.
“This is a serious matter, and we’re taking [it] very, very seriously,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a briefing on Monday, adding that an investigation is underway.
Pannun is known as one of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s most vocal critics in the U.S. The report also suggested India’s Research and Analysis Wing was responsible for the separate shooting death of a Sikh activist last June in Canada.
“The government of India has been very clear with us that they are taking this seriously and will investigate. And we expect that accountability from the government based on that,” Jean-Pierre added.

India is going to be another super power like China. Canada has failed on managing the relationship with China. I hope Canada doesn't fail on India.
Canadian democracy is a joke. Cheering the nazi in the parliament or cheering for extremism by the leaders in open.
Their press secretary lies non stop and doesn't answer anything so thanks for airing her ineptitude
No one in their right mind to believe that Modi had had no prior knowledge in the Nijjar's killing or attempted assassination of Pannun.
– It's simply he ordered it.
Modi is a threat to India's ?? democratic system and prosperity.
Modi should step down the sooner the better.
Was the United States tipped off via phone scammers?
India rule the world
Snakes being snake
The world safest country for minorities and women visitors, the cows swear by it, women influencers acknowledged it
Karine Jean-Pierre very attractive woman <3
Pannu is not a critic of modi,but anti india whom threatening to blowup parliament, stadium, plane and want separate country so called khalundstan
And what happening in Gaza is democratic.
hypocrisy by usa.
Pannun is a threat to india. he openly doing threatening , then what wrong in it ?India is trying to eliminate a threat .thats all . either in america or in canada ,it wont matter . does these things matters for united states of america? what they are doing around the world? so be cool and wait for good news
Looks like pakistanis claiming truth about India eliminating terrorist..
If that is lie it will become teuth after elections pakka???
Deeply concerned about usa human right issue, forced detentions of pro-palestine protesters , involvement in terrorism with canada ??
Fun fact is that even if modi was not the PM of india …..pannu was termed as a terrorist by India….
See how USA is supporting terrorism.
Shame on USA government.
USA and Canada government are supporting separatists and terrorists.
So shame on them
White house is clearly supporting terrorists and separatists.
So shameful for Whitehouse.
These forgein outlets want seriously modi to win …. good to see R.A.W. doing global works at ease
A part of punjab is also in pakistan also.
Salute to Raw
Sikh community is grateful to US government and CIA
God bless USA!
We will do whatever it takes to keep India's safety and integrity. We don't care what other's think
If Hardeep Singh Nijjer was a sikh activist then osama bin laden was a civil engineer???
India is too big & too important. As for Pannu, he is going to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder for the illusive assassin. It's Pannu who will feel terror for the rest of his life.
United States is that miracle worker which can create enemies out of just anyone – allies, involved parties, in fact even aliens that are "hostile to US interests" on planet Earth.
The western media is next, how they have tried to run a campaign of disinformation against India because they cant fathom that a former colony is beating them all at a global stage. Keep crying.
Pannu is not a critic of Modi, he is anti India and anti Indians. But he is a joker
O wait didn't US take out Saddam a legitimate leader of a country? Didn't US take out a serving general of Iran? those are all good? but Taking out Nijjar was wrong? O wait he was a plumber, yeah right! No one in India wants to get back to the 80s and 90s Punjab. Only Jatt sikhs want a homeland carved out of India while living abroad. They just want a holiday home.
