The U.S. has raised “concerns” and is still waiting for the outcome of India’s investigation into the alleged assassination plot against American national and Khalistani separatist leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a senior U.S. official said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a think tank event in Delhi, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Verma, who was earlier U.S. Ambassador to India between 2014 and 2016, said that U.S.-India relations are built on “shared values” that are the “glue” in the partnership, which he said has made major strides in the past decade. Mr. Verma spoke about the need for India and the U.S. to cooperate on global challenges like the Russian war in Ukraine, a day after External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar pointed out that Russia has never harmed India’s interests.
