Russia has staunchly defended India against allegations of involvement in the cases of Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing and the assassination plot against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova refuted claims by stating that the US has failed to provide any substantial evidence implicating Indian citizens in the Pannun murder plot. Zakharova criticized the US for its lack of understanding of India's national mentality and historical context. She accused the US of interfering in India's internal affairs to disrupt the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. The Russian stance underscores tensions between global powers and India's electoral process.
