India rejects US panel’s remarks on gurdwara attacks, calls it ‘blatantly political’

What's behind this

India has dismissed a civil lawsuit filed in a US court by Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun that alleged an assassination plot involving National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and former R&AW chief Samant Goel. New Delhi described the allegations as “fabricated and malicious” and said it strongly rejected both the claims and the suit. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal reiterated the rejection, and the remarks followed the US State Department’s involvement in serving summonses on the Indian officials through diplomatic channels.
