Washington: White House has met a group of pro-Khalistan Sikh activists hours before Prime Minister Narendra Modi ’s arrival in the United States to attend the Quad Summit, hosted by President Joe Biden ,

White House officials met with Sikh activists to assure them of the US government's commitment to protecting Americans from transnational aggression. The meeting precedes Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US.

Senior U.S. officials met with Sikh advocates on Thursday to discuss threats facing Sikhs in the United States, including a foiled murder plot against a prominent activist last year, several attendees told Reuters.

In a social media post on X on Friday, Singh thanked the US officials for their vigilance in protecting Sikh Americans. “We will hold them to their assurances to do more to safeguard our community. Freedom and justice must prevail,” he said.

The Biden administration held an official meeting with a group of Sikh separatists who sympathize with the Khalistan movement on Saturday, just as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to land in the US.

This is the first time that the National Security Council has held a meeting with these Sikh activists and Sikh separatists.
