PANNUN FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST INDIAN GOVT, NSA DOVAL NEW DELHI: A US court's summons to the Indian government over Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun's civil suit, alleging a plot to murder him, was "completely unwarranted," the Ministry of External Affairs said on Thursday.

During a press briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri was asked about the summons issued by the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The summons names the Government of India, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, former R&AW chief Samant Goel, agent Vikram Yadav, and Indian businessman Nikhil Gupta, and seeks a response within 21 days.

“When these issues were first brought to our attention, we took action. A high-level committee is engaged in this matter,” the Foreign Secretary said.

He described the case as “completely unwarranted.”
