Arindam Bagchi from the Ministry of External Affairs addressed US allegations of India plotting against Khalistani extremist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. The case filed in a US court linking an individual to an Indian official raised concerns, contrary to government policy. Bagchi stressed the international issue of organized crime, trafficking, gunrunning, and extremism, prompting a high-level inquiry committee. He urged Canada to uphold its obligations under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, highlighting their consistent allowance for anti-India extremists. The US recently expressed concerns about a nexus involving organized criminals, gunrunners, and terrorists, raised at the highest levels of the Indian government.
