White House Meets Sikh Activists Before Modi's US Visit

The meeting addressed concerns about threats to Sikh Americans and discussed the US commitment to protecting them from transnational repression.

Senior US officials met with Sikh activists to discuss threats facing the community, including a foiled murder plot against an activist last year.
The meeting, held within the White House complex, was attended by representatives from the American Sikh Caucus Committee, Sikh Coalition, and SALDEF.
The US government assured Sikh leaders of its commitment to protecting Americans from acts of transnational repression.
The meeting occurred just before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's three-day visit to the US, where he will attend the Quad summit and address the UN General Assembly.
Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has filed a civil lawsuit against the Indian government, alleging an attempted assassination plot, which has further strained India-US relations.
