NEW YORK: Pakistan’s Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations Munir Akram has said in perhaps the first recognition of its kind in a global forum that “the new India is a dangerous entity” and that a targeted and extrajudicial assassination in his homeland is a “new India”. he said, referring to the charges. And elsewhere too.
Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the World Organization also quoted a report in a leading US daily and said, “A new India will come into your house and kill you.”
Addressing the General Assembly on May 2, Foreign Minister Akram said, “Pakistan’s foreign minister has not only criticized India’s Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the General Assembly, but also the Security Council, which is carrying out targeted assassinations in Pakistan.” “This foreign state terrorism is not non-territorial state terrorism.” It has been limited to Pakistan, expanded to include targeted killings of political opponents in Canada, and is being attempted in the United States and possibly other countries. ”
“The Washington Post reported that Prime Minister Modi told cheering supporters last week, and I quote, “Today, even India’s enemies know that this is Mr. Modi.” This is the new India. This new India will come to your home and kill you. “This new India is a dangerous entity and a provider of insecurity,” Pakistan said. claimed the Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
Earlier, top British daily The Guardian had claimed in a report that the Indian government carried out the assassination of a wanted man deep inside Pakistan as part of a “wider strategy to eliminate terrorists on foreign soil”.
The newspaper cited sources as saying that 2023 saw a significant increase in targeted assassinations, with India implicated in attacks believed to have left around 15 people dead, “most of them with unidentified armed men”. He was shot at close range by a group of people.”
Earlier, some Western countries had expressed concern, alleging targeted killings on their soil on the orders of the Indian government.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the “agent” allegedly hired by the Indian government was pro-Khalistan leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was designated a terrorist by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) in 2020. accused of murdering.
However, India dismissed the claims as “ridiculous” and “motivated”.
Nijjar was shot dead as he left a gurdwara in Surrey in June last year. A video clip of his alleged murder surfaced in March this year, showing him being shot dead by armed men in what was described as a “contract killing”.
In the latest development in the Niger case, Canadian police have arrested four Indian nationals on suspicion of killing a charismatic separatist leader outside a gurdwara in British Columbia last June.
Following the arrest, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar denied receiving any evidence suggesting the involvement of Indian nationals in the killing of Indian designated terrorists in Canada.
Replying to media queries, Jaishankar said, “I have also read that an arrest has been made. If the person is an Indian national, then normally we would report it to the government or embassy of the country of origin as per consular practice. But beyond that, we have long maintained that we are open to investigating any incidents in Canada, any violence in Canada, if there is evidence or information in India that should be investigated.”
He stressed that when an Indian national is arrested, the government or embassy is usually notified, but so far no concrete evidence has been received to justify an investigation by Indian authorities.
“However, so far we have not received any concrete or valuable information worthy of being pursued by our law enforcement agencies. I am not aware of any changes in this regard in the last few days. “No,” the Foreign Minister said at a press conference. Media interaction at a seminar on Indian capital market ‘Vikshit Bharat Roadmap’ held earlier at National Stock Exchange (NSE), Mumbai.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) also said in its weekly press briefing that Canada had not formally informed them of the arrests and that India had not yet received a request for consular access.
In response to a question about the fourth Indian national arrested by Canada in connection with Nijjar’s murder, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiwal said, “We have seen reports that a fourth person has been arrested. We haven’t been told that officially. So far, we haven’t heard anything.” We also received requests for consular access. ”
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his campaign for the ongoing general elections in the country, told its western neighbors that India will no longer send terrorist documents but will eliminate terrorists in its own backyard. He said that he had done so, and made some impressive remarks.
“Right now, India is not sending any documents. Aaj Bharat ghar mein ghus ke marta hai (Today, India will strike back against terrorists in its own territory),” PM Modi said at a poll rally in Latur, Maharashtra.
Prime Minister Modi has widened the differences in the way his government tackles terrorism compared to previous Congress governments at the Center, saying its previous approach of handing over dossier to Pakistan has changed from the previous approach of handing over dossier to wanted terrorist conspirators. He said that this has been replaced by eliminating them on their own territory.
At another rally, Prime Minister Modi further emphasized Indian bloc leader Farooq Abdullah’s statement that Pakistan is not a banger and is not a nuclear power, saying:Nothing happens in Pakistan, nothing happens to us.“(They said) Pakistanis don’t even have bangles. We make them wear bangles.”
Addressing a public meeting in Muzaffarpur, Prime Minister Modi said, “They (Congress and Indian Alliance) people are so scared that they have seen Pakistan’s atomic bomb in their dreams. How can such a government and leader run a country? ? They (Indian Alliance leaders) said. To tell, ‘Pakistan, ne chodiyan nahi peni hain, bhai pena denge. Abu unko aata bi chahie, unke pass bijli bi nahi hai, abu humin maloom nahi ki unke pass chodiyan bhi nahi hai.‘. (They say Pakistanis don’t even have bangles…we make them wear bangles. They are crying out desperately for wheat. They don’t have electricity and now they don’t even have bangles to wear. ) Some leading opposition parties have even made innocent accusations against the 26/11 defendants. ”
“Some people are questioning the surgical strikes and air strikes (after the Uri and Pulwama terror attacks). These leaders want to weaken the morale of our armed forces and attack our atomic energy. It’s like ‘Indian alliance, Indo ke khilaf supari’. ‘le li hai’ (INDI partners have made a deal for the country),” PM Modi added.
In the United States, federal prosecutors had earlier alleged that two Indians, including a government official, were involved in a plot to kill Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Panun, a Canadian citizen with American citizenship, there.
According to an indictment issued by the US Department of Justice, Nikhil Gupta, an Indian national currently in custody, has been charged with the commissioned murder of Panun. The U.S. Justice Department alleged that Indian government officials, whose identities were not disclosed in the indictment, had scouted Mr. Gupta to hire a hitman to assassinate Panun, but were thwarted by U.S. authorities.
India has set up a high-level committee to investigate the issue.
