Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the chief of the banned Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) outfit, released a video claiming the defacement of walls across Delhi with anti-India and pro-Khalistani slogans. Pannun also threatened to target the October 6 ICC World Cup in Ahmedabad, blaming Prime Minister Modi for the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. His video raised security concerns in the national capital, prompting searches near Parliament House. Earlier threats from Pannun in Delhi led to arrests by the Delhi Police Special Cell. This video emerges amid heightened diplomatic tensions between the Indian government and the Canadian government led by Justin Trudeau.

Indian intelligence agencies have revealed that Goldy Brar, a Canada-based terrorist, used legal channels to seek asylum in California to evade Indian authorities.

Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar is set to meet US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Washington amidst the India-Canada diplomatic dispute over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. The previous meeting at the UN General Assembly didn't address the crisis. The specific agenda remains undisclosed, but the US urges India to cooperate with Canada's investigation. Jaishankar reiterates India's innocence, while Blinken emphasizes accountability through due process. India has refuted Canada's allegations and requested specific information for investigation. Jaishankar's UN address calls for non-interference and an end to a few nations dictating global agendas.

Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, EAM S Jaishankar hinted the US is adjusting to a multipolar world by shaping new power poles. He observed the dominance and relative power of the US is changing partly due to Iraq and Afghanistan. Jaishankar said the world has become more democratic, enabling redistribution of power, and the US is actively seeking to benefit in this new order. He added that Washington can no longer work only with allies, citing Quad as an example. Jaishankar inferred the US may not use the term 'multipolar' but is adapting to it. Ahead of meeting Secretary Blinken in Washington, he noted the long-term consequences of recent US campaigns and said the US is making adjustments as global power dynamics shift away from unilateralism.

  During the India-US 2+2 Intersessional Dialogue, officials from both nations discussed opportunities to enhance interoperability and logistics cooperation, as well as combined maritime efforts in the Indian Ocean Region. They also explored cooperation in the space and cyber domains. The Indian delegation, led by officials from the Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Defence, engaged with the American side, led by officials from the Department of Defense and the Department of State. The dialogue covered regional security developments in the Indo-Pacific region and advanced initiatives in areas like defense, emerging technologies, people-to-people ties, clean energy, and supply chain resilience.

An alarming audio recording by Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has surfaced, in which he issues threats of attacks in response to India's alleged killing of Hardeep Singh Jijjar and insult of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau. On behalf of his group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), Pannun warned of dire consequences, saying they plan to target the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad which will host the ICC World Cup 2023 opening match on October 5. Pannun stated it would be the beginning of a "World Terror Cup" rather than the World Cup, conveying the message on behalf of SFJ. The pre-recorded call circulating on social media has raised serious security concerns amid heightened tensions between India and Canada over the Khalistani issue. Authorities are on high alert following the chilling threats by the wanted terrorist.

  Nirav Modi, the fugitive Indian businessman facing charges of fraud and money laundering in India, has been relocated from HMP Wandsworth to the privately-run HMP Thameside in London. The move, part of a group transfer of 40 inmates following a recent prison escape, took place without prior court knowledge. Nirav Modi's extradition to India was denied in the UK courts last year, but his case may involve further litigation or a confidential political asylum appeals process. He is implicated in multiple criminal proceedings in India related to fraud and money laundering.

Twenty-one British MPs signed an early day motion urging the UK government to address human rights violations in Manipur, India and pause free trade agreement negotiations with India until abuses cease. The EDM, proposed by Labour MP Nadia Whittome, spotlights grave violations against Manipur's Kuki-Zo tribe including extrajudicial killings, displacement and sexual violence that UN experts have condemned. It highlights broader attacks on minorities in India. The motion draws attention to these concerning issues and calls for action by linking trade talks to human rights protections. 

Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada's New Democratic Party (NDP), has stated that there is a "clear" indication of a foreign government's involvement in the killing of a "Canadian citizen" on Canadian soil. This follows Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations against India. Singh emphasized the seriousness of the allegations, based on intelligence briefings he received, and called for a thorough investigation to identify those responsible. He also noted the United States' support for Canada's request for transparency from India and mentioned the briefing materials prepared by former governor-general David Johnston, who was investigating the issue before resigning from the role.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar rebutted Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's allegation of an Indian government connection to the killing of pro-Khalistan leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, stating "this is not the Government of India’s policy." Jaishankar accused Canada of permissiveness toward Khalistani extremism due to "political reasons", despite India providing information on terrorist leaders there. He implied Canada hypocritically cites "democratic norms" to justify this stance. Jaishankar maintained India has received no evidence from Canada, though Trudeau claimed "there is a potential link" between India and Nijjar's death.
