India is a strategic partner for the United States, the White House has said as it urged New Delhi to hold accountable those responsible for the plot to assassinate a separatist Sikh leader, who is an American citizen. \u201cIndia is a strategic partner. We\u2019re deepening that strategic partnership. They\u2019re a member of the Quad in the Pacific. We participate with them on a range of issues and we want to see that continue unabated. That said, at the same time, we certainly recognise the seriousness of these allegations,\u201d National Security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters at a White House news conference here.<\/p>\n
Kirby was responding to a question on the impact that the alleged plot would have on the bilateral India-US relationship. \u201cWe want it fully investigated and those responsible to be held properly accountable,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s under active investigation. We\u2019ve said that we\u2019re glad that our Indian counterparts are taking it seriously and doing that. We want those responsible for these attacks to be held fully accountable, but I won\u2019t get ahead of an investigation that isn\u2019t complete,\u201d Kirby added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
