US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Verma said that if Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, declared a terrorist by India, crosses the border, strict action will be taken against him. In an interview, Verma said that everyone needs to work within the ambit of law. The US Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources said, “I don't want to go into specific cases, but coming back to Pannu's case, everyone has to work within the law. If anyone crosses the border, action will be taken.” ,
America will not accept any wrong step: Verma
When Verma was asked why America was not taking action against Khalistan separatists, the Indian public found it difficult to understand his answer. On this, Richard Verma said, the American government will not tolerate any kind of harassment, especially any wrongdoing against diplomats. He said that when it comes to freedom of expression the rules are different for everyone. Harassment of any diplomat will not be tolerated. We need to understand what the limits of conduct are. We will take strict action against such actions and America has done this before also.
Last year an attempt was made to burn the Indian Embassy
He further said that everyone knows that anyone involved in violence or attacks is held accountable. He said that our team has done this work very well. All Indian diplomats are completely safe in America. Let us tell you that in March last year, Khalistan supporters had illegally entered the Indian Consulate in San Francisco and tried to set it on fire. Apart from this, an attempt was made to set fire to the Indian Consulate in the month of July also.
