India's Ministry of External Affairs is addressing the serious issue of Khalistani separatist Pannun's threat to the Indian ambassador, which has been brought to the attention of the US.

New Delhi: The Ministry of External Affairs announced on Friday that they are taking the recent threat made by Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun against India's Ambassador to the US, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, very seriously. The threat, which was made in a video, states that Kwatra is being targeted by pro-Khalistani Sikhs in America for allegedly working with Russian authorities to provide information to Indian intelligence agencies about the Khalistani network in the United States.

MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated during a media briefing in New Delhi that whenever such threats are issued, they are immediately brought to the attention of the US government. In this specific case, they have already raised the issue with the US government and are expecting them to take India's security concerns seriously and take action.

Ambassador Kwatra, a former Foreign Secretary, assumed his role as India's Ambassador to the United States in August of this year, taking over from Taranjit Singh Sandhu. This comes at a time when Khalistani separatists have been targeting the Hindu community in the US and Indian missions.

There have been incidents of defacement of temples, including in California and New York, as well as acts of arson and vandalism at the Indian embassy in San Francisco, all linked to Khalistani involvement. Lawmakers, such as Democrat Shri Thanedar from Michigan, have expressed concern over the increase in attacks on Hindus and their places of worship in the United States.

Thanedar recently expressed frustration with the investigating agency for their failure to identify the culprits behind these incidents. He stated that it seems to be a coordinated effort to attack these places of worship and that the lack of progress in the investigations leaves the community feeling neglected and scared.

He and his colleagues are now urging the US Department of Justice to coordinate efforts between local law enforcement, the FBI, and the Department of Justice to give higher priority to hate crimes against the peaceful community. They believe this will help bring justice and peace to the community, who have been living in fear and feeling unsupported by law enforcement.
