India will “definitely” examine the allegations of an attempt to assassinate U.S.-based pro-Khalistan activist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun if provided with adequate evidence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in an interview to the Financial Times, published on Wednesday. In his first public remarks on the case, Mr. Modi highlighted his government’s commitment to the rule of law and expressed concern about the activities of pro-Khalistan groups based in western countries.
“If someone gives us any information, we would definitely look into it. If a citizen of ours has done anything good or bad, we are ready to look into it. Our commitment is to the rule of law,” Mr. Modi told the British newspaper.
