US President Donald Trump’s letter this week to Khalistan leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, who heads the pro-Khalistan organization Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), reaffirming his commitment to protecting the rights and safety of American citizens, including Sikh-American is another slap on the faces of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and side-kick Amit Shah and their murderous regime which have murdered Sikhs in Canada and other nations around the world including attempted murder of Pannu. Pannu shared Trump’s letter on his X (formerly Twitter) account this week in which Trump stated that he prioritizes the safety of the American people, their nation, and its core values, asserting that a secure America ensures a safer world. He vowed never to cease fighting for the rights and security of American citizens. The timing of the letter has stirred political and diplomatic circles, coming just weeks ahead of a planned Khalistan referendum in Washington on August 17. The letter has been interpreted as highly significant, not only politically but also diplomatically, as it highlights issues of trade, tariffs, defense spending, and American values.

WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump’s letter this week to Khalistan leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, who heads the pro-Khalistan organization Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), reaffirming his commitment to protecting the rights and safety of American citizens, including Sikh-American is another slap on the faces of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and side-kick Amit Shah and their murderous regime which have murdered Sikhs in Canada and other nations around the world including attempted murder of Pannu.

Pannu shared Trump’s letter on his X (formerly Twitter) account this week in which Trump stated that he prioritizes the safety of the American people, their nation, and its core values, asserting that a secure America ensures a safer world. He vowed never to cease fighting for the rights and security of American citizens.

The timing of the letter has stirred political and diplomatic circles, coming just weeks ahead of a planned Khalistan referendum in Washington on August 17. The letter has been interpreted as highly significant, not only politically but also diplomatically, as it highlights issues of trade, tariffs, defense spending, and American values.

Trump further emphasized in the letter his dedication to preserving the principles that define American identity. The letter also touches upon U.S. foreign policy, military preparedness, and global aid.

Trump’s letter is being seen as a significant boost to the Khalistan movement and a diplomatic jolt for New Delhi.

Despite India’s persistent attempts to suppress the Khalistan movement through transnational repression and paid assassins, including through lobbying at the United Nations and other global institutions, these efforts have largely failed. International bodies have not endorsed India’s narrative.

The letter is being cited as yet another example of India’s faltering diplomatic strategy and the growing global resonance of the Khalistan cause. It also reinforces the perception of India’s diminishing credibility on the international stage.

Notably, Trump has previously exposed the Modi government’s claims by publicly asserting on 27 occasions that he played a role in defusing tensions between India and Pakistan, further challenging New Delhi’s diplomatic narrative.

Pannu had earlier filed a case in the United States against the Indian government for plotting his murder, an accusation that led to the arrest and indictment of RAW operative Nikhil Gupta. Gupta remains in US custody and is facing legal proceedings.

US officials have since expressed concern over foreign transnational repression efforts, and the Trump letter may be viewed as a subtle but firm signal of America’s stance on protecting its residents — regardless of international pressures.
