Who is Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and why the controversy?
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun is said to be associated with the banned organization Sikhs for Justice and lives in America. India considers him a designated terrorist, while he calls himself a political activist. This contradiction makes this case more complicated.
What can happen next?
Now everyone’s eyes are on the next decision of the American court. Sentencing has yet to be determined and a formal statement from the US Attorney’s Office is pending. This case has become a big test not only of law but also of India-US relations, diplomacy and international security.
