India has asked the U.S. to list a Sikh separatist group as a terrorist organisation, an Indian government source said on March 18, more than a year after the U.S. said it had foiled a plot with Indian links to kill a leader of the group in the U.S.
Washington went public about the plot in November 2023 and later charged a former Indian spy service officer with directing the plot against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a dual U.S.-Canada citizen and the general counsel of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), in an episode that tested growing India-U.S. friendship.
