Weighing on the row over the assassination bid on Khalistani separatist leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, Russia rejected the United States's assertion that Indian agents were involved in the plot.
Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova slammed the US for not giving any “credible information” or “evidence” so far of India's involvement.
She claimed that the Biden administration was trying to “unbalance the internal political situation” in India and “complicate” the ongoing general elections.
“Washington lacks a simple understanding of India's national mentality and history, as America continues to make unfounded accusations about religious freedoms. Washington's actions clearly constitute interference in India's internal affairs…As for speculations, since there is no evidence, it is not acceptable…They are not respecting India as a state,” Zakharova said during an address, according to the state-controlled RT TV.
She further slammed the US for “wrongful accusations” against several other countries.
“Hard to imagine a more repressive regime than Washington in international and national affairs,” she added.
