India rejects a US civil lawsuit brought by Khalistani activist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, with the government saying the claims are fabricated and malicious. India also rejects the lawsuit itself, describing it as frivolous and aimed at its senior officials.
According to the reports, India’s position is relayed through the Foreign Affairs Ministry. One account says a spokesperson explicitly rejects the allegations and the case. Another says the US State Department sent court summonses to India through diplomatic channels, and India rejects the lawsuit on that basis as well.
Across outlets, the emphasis differs between the broad rejection of the suit as malicious or fabricated and the procedural detail about diplomatic channels for summonses. The core message—India’s denial of allegations and opposition to the US civil lawsuit—remains consistent.
