Washington: The United States has reacted to the statements by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on crossing borders to kill terrorists, wherein the Biden administration said the US would not involve itself in the matter but “encouraged India and Pakistan to avoid any escalation and find a resolution through dialogue”.
US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller was responding to questions at a news conference on Tuesday on alleged operations by India in other countries to eliminate terrorists.
Are the statements by Modi and Rajnath considered as “confession”?
When asked if Modi and Singh’s comments can be seen as “confessions” on the alleged “assassination of (Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh) Nijjar in Canada, (designated terrorist Gurpatwant Singh) Pannu’s murder-for-hire plot in New York, and killings in Pakistan”, Miller said the US will not get involved in the matter.
“The United States is not going to get into the middle of this, but we do encourage both India and Pakistan to avoid escalation and find a resolution through dialogue,” the State Department spokesperson said.
