New Delhi: The United States and India on Wednesday (March 6) reiterated the call for justice for the masterminds of the 26/11 Mumbai and Pathankot Air Force Base terror attacks. However, both countries maintained public silence regarding any discussion of the allegations of a conspiracy to assassinate a Sikh American-Canadian lawyer.On Tuesday, senior officials from India and the United States took part in a meeting of the Counterterrorism Joint Working Group and Designations Dialogue at Washington. A joint statement issued after the meeting stated that both countries “called for the perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai and Pathankot terrorist attacks to be brought to justice”.“They also called for concerted action against all terrorist groups, including groups proscribed by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) 1267 Sanctions Committee, such as al-Qaida, ISIS/Daesh, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT), and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM),” it said.Additionally, the statement mentioned that both sides “exchanged information regarding priorities and procedures for designating various terrorist entities/groups and individuals”.India and the United States have jointly submitted proposals to a UN Security Council committee for listing several Pakistan-based terrorists in the council’s sanctions list.However, most of them were blocked by China in recent years.The meeting also took place against the backdrop of US prosecutors accusing an unnamed Indian official for being the main mastermind in the foiled attempt to target Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the general counsel for a proscribed group named Sikhs for Justice. The unsealed US indictment had also linked the conspiracy to the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada last year.India had set up a high-level committee to probe the US allegations, but there has been no public confirmation whether the investigation has been completed or is still ongoing.The joint statement did not mention whether the issue was brought up and there have been no additional remarks from either side on this matter.
