WASHINGTON — The White House said Monday that it viewed the reported role of the Indian intelligence service in two assassination plots in Canada and the United States as a serious matter. The Washington Post reported that an officer in India’s intelligence service was directly involved in a foiled plan to assassinate a U.S. citizen who is one of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s most vocal critics in the United States.
authorities said an Indian government official had directed the plot in the attempted murder of Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a Sikh separatist and dual citizen of the United States and Canada. India has expressed concern about the linkage and dissociated itself from the plot, saying it would formally investigate the concerns of the United States and take “necessary follow-up action” on the findings of a panel set up on Nov. 18.
