Biden Administration Confident India-US Relationship Won’t Derail Despite Recent Indictments

<p><strong>Washington:</strong> The outgoing Biden administration on Tuesday exuded confidence that India and the US will be able to &ldquo;weather&rdquo; the challenges to their relationship that arose after two recent indictments — one related to a Sikh separatist and the other to an Indian billionaire.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I’m confident that we will be able to weather this appropriately,&rdquo; a senior administration official said responding to a question that the two indictments cast a shadow on the India-US relationship.</p>
<p>In a New York court, the US Department of Justice has accused an Indian official of being involved in a plan to kill a Sikh separatist leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. The other indictment charges Indian billionaire Gautam Adani of corruption. &ldquo;Many people say that that kind of casts a shadow on the relationship and it raises questions about trust (between India and US) once again,&rdquo; the official was asked.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I would just simply say the relationship is increasingly complex, increasingly diverse and increasingly deep. It is the case that invariably, we will reach occasions of challenges on both sides, and the key is how we deal with those,&rdquo; said the official.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I can just assure you that we’ve had the deepest possible appropriate consultation between the two sides, and I’m confident that we will be able to weather this appropriately,&rdquo; said the official.</p>
<p>A second senior administration official described the indictments as regulatory and law enforcement issues that are best left to the agencies directly involved to speak to. &ldquo;It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to comment from either the White House or the State Department,&rdquo; the official said.</p>
<p>&ldquo;But we stand by and strongly believe in the view &hellip;. that this relationship is in a very strong position,&rdquo; said the second administration official.&nbsp;</p>
