The US-India relationship is at risk after the exposure of a plot to assassinate a Sikh separatist leader on North American soil. The US has charged India with orchestrating assassinations against Sikhs in the West, with evidence showing that the Indian government targeted specific Sikh diaspora organizations. India's foreign ministry instructed its consulates in North America to launch a crackdown scheme against Sikh diaspora organizations.
