It appears that you’re referring to a complex situation involving an Indian official, an alleged plot to harm a U.S. citizen, and various accusations made by the U.S. Justice Department regarding the plot. Unfortunately, the content provided is very lengthy and contains detailed information about individuals, alleged plots, and accusations, making it challenging to summarize or interpret it accurately.
To briefly address the situation: It seems there are claims of an Indian official allegedly involved in a conspiracy or plot against a U.S. citizen. The U.S. Justice Department has made public accusations related to this plot. There are mentions of individuals such as CC-1 (referred to as CC Van), Nikhil Gupta, and Gurvant Singh Pannu in connection with these allegations.
Allegations include a supposed conspiracy or plot against a U.S. citizen, accusations of terrorist activities, and the involvement of certain individuals associated with Indian intelligence agencies. The claims made in the provided content are serious and require careful verification and investigation by the respective authorities.
However, without specific and credible sources or verifiable information, it’s challenging to provide a definitive analysis or comment on the matter. If there are confirmed and verified details available from reliable sources, it would be important for the concerned authorities to investigate and address these allegations properly.
For accurate and reliable information on such sensitive matters, it’s recommended to refer to official statements or reports from credible news sources and government agencies.
“Neither a question bursts nor is there any question asked, and no water douses the gleam of the G20. There are numerous questions whose answers are awaited. Newspapers often publish articles regarding the relations between India and America. Praise is sung, stating that the friendship between India and America is the friendship between two powerful nations. But here, it seems like America is engaged in something different.
Will killing Sikh case’s impact on USA- India friendship ?
If power balance is a thing, then friendship should also be balanced. What kind of friendship is this where America is exposing India at a global level?
On June 24, 2023, Prime Minister Modi returned to India from America, and on June 30, at America’s behest, Nikhil Gupta was arrested in Check Republic. Nikhil Gupta had gone to Check Republic from India. His arrest had happened prior to the Prime Minister’s visit. A preliminary accusation had been filed in a New York court a month before Modi’s visit to America, alleging a conspiracy for Pannu’s murder against Nikhil Gupta and others. According to sources, the White House did not have information about this case during Modi’s visit.
Will India not be informed about this? That America knows everything? A CC1, an Indian official, tells Gupta to target immediately. But also advises not to do anything around the meetings of American and Indian senior officials. However, the undercover officer from India, who contracted Gupta for Pannu’s murder, turned out to be an agent from America’s secretive department. Gupta hands over all the information to him along with $1000, the picture of which appeared in newspapers.
He promises that more money will be given after the murder if the work is done efficiently and quickly. Up to seventy million can be given. Gupta has no idea that he is giving the contract for murder to an American investigative agency officer. In a way, this operation puts India’s reputation at stake. Why was such a shoddy operation conducted? The answer to this you’ll never get in this government.
If the plot to get an American citizen murdered had happened during the Congress government, today the Indian public wouldn’t be protesting in the district but in the village, saying that India’s reputation has been tarnished. Now, let’s talk about Canada. On September 18, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau made serious allegations against India, claiming that Canadian intelligence agencies are investigating whether Indian government agents were involved in the murder of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Trudeau’s statement created a stir. Trudeau didn’t make the allegation through media reports but stated it in his parliament. After the American allegations became public, Trudeau has said that India needs to take these allegations seriously and work with them so that we can reach the bottom of this matter. India claims that Canada didn’t provide any evidence. Due to this, it’s being said that Canada’s response was different from America’s.
But, if you remember, when Justin Trudeau accused India, the American government said they are in contact with the Canadian government regarding this matter and support their investigation. At that time, the Associated Press had reported based on sources that an American official had not revealed the name but had stated that before giving a statement in parliament, Justin Trudeau had taken the US President Joe Biden into confidence. Even Reuters reported that America and Canada are jointly investigating Nijjar’s murder.
This way, we see how the murder of Nijjar in Canada and the conspiracy for Pannu’s murder in America are getting linked. The Justice Department has said that a few days before Nijjar’s murder, an undercover hitman told Nikhil Gupta that there is a big target in America. This incident is being linked to Nijjar’s murder. On June 18, 2023, Nijjar was murdered. The documents obtained from the New York Attorney’s Office state clearly as an allegation that Indian government officials sent Nikhil Gupta a video after Nijjar’s murder in which Nijjar was lying in his car after the murder. An hour later, CC1, the officer, sent Gupta the New York address of the next target.
The next day, Nikhil told the hitman that Nijjar was also a target, and there are many more people on our list. Nikhil tells the hitman that there’s no need to delay Pannu’s killing. Two days after Nijjar’s murder, CC1, the officer, sent Gupta a news report about Pannu and said that it’s a priority now. As soon as the news came from America, India mentioned the investigation on Wednesday. The Ministry of External Affairs said that India is conducting a high-level investigation. The committee was formed only four days after this on November 18. Four days later, Financial Times reported that America has warned India and expressed concern.
During the course of discussions with the U.S. National Cybersecurity Cooperation, the U.S. side shared inputs pertaining to the nexus between organized crime, trafficking, gun runners, terrorists, and extremists. Such inputs are part of a very serious and high-level inquiry committee that has been constituted, following action based on the findings of the inquiry committee. You would have seen this in the previous statement that we have issued. It is also contrary to government policy. The nexus between organized crime, trafficking, gun running, and extremism at an international level is a serious issue for law enforcement agencies and organizations to consider and act upon. It is a matter of concern for the diplomatic representatives in Canada.
The brunt of this, so we expect the government to take this seriously and let me reiterate that this is also contrary to government policy. This is a matter of concern for Indian officials, and this is being stated lately. We cannot share any further information on security matters and regarding the case against an individual that has been legally filed, linking him to Indian officials. This is a matter of concern for Indian officials, and this is being stated lately. We cannot share any further information on security matters and regarding the case against an individual that has been legally filed, linking him to Indian officials.
In addition to Canada’s failure to uphold its commitments under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, we have witnessed intervention in our internal affairs by Canadian diplomats, which is completely unacceptable. The Financial Times has written that two senior officers from the American intelligence department came to India in August and October due to this case. According to sources, the Financial Times has also written that American National Security Advisor Jack Solomon has had discussions with India’s security advisor regarding this case. Sources have revealed that Solomon clarified that such conspiracies can permanently damage the established trust between both countries. We’ve already informed you that discussions about this case have taken place between Biden and Modi.
Financial Times has written that foreign ministers from both countries have also discussed this case. Financial Times first reported this on November 22, and then this news was viewed from an anti-India perspective. Kamal Sibal, former Foreign Secretary of India and ambassador to Turkey, Egypt, France, and Russia, tweeted in trolling language calling the Financial Times journalist a Chinese agent. We want you to also see an example of the current state of the Indian Foreign Service language. It seems that without raising the flag of patriotism in every case, nothing can be said, and officers spending such a long life in the Foreign Service have forgotten diplomacy and common language.
This is Kamal Sibal’s tweet on November 22 after the Financial Times’ report. After the American Justice Department made all allegations public, the Indian government initiated an investigation. Then, such officers’ tweets will become a subject of mockery. Financial Times journalists Dimitri are tweeting to inform everyone that their story has been proven correct, and they have every right to do so. America is saying that they will not tolerate attempts to murder their citizens on their soil. Pannu has been declared a terrorist by India.
Is Indian officials are accusing America in a press conference of seeking shelter from America?
Have you heard that to bring someone from America to India, a statement is being made by a Foreign Minister on an English channel? Have you heard that the wife of The Hindu has written that the Ministry of External Affairs did not confirm that an official request was made to bring Pannu to India officially? The plot of the murder is one thing, and making it public is not that dangerous. Najjar was murdered in June, and a few days later, Nikhil Gupta was arrested. Canada was accused in September, and in November, America openly entered the field. But what is yet to come is who CC1 is, the alleged officer from the Indian intelligence department. Your attention will be diverted to this before bringing up any marketable issue.”
