NEW DELHI, Dec 20 (BBC): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that India will "definitely look into" any evidence provided on its alleged links to an assassination plot in the US.
In November, the US charged an Indian man of conspiring to murder a Sikh separatist leader in New York. Mr Modi told the Financial Times that the allegations will not affect ties between India and the US. This is the first time he has spoken publicly about the issue.
"If a citizen of ours has done anything good or bad, we are ready to look into it. Our commitment is to the rule of law," the prime minister told the newspaper.
The target of the attempted assassination, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, is a dual US-Canadian citizen who is a vocal supporter of the Khalistan movement which advocates for a separate Sikh state.
