Defence Minister Rajnath Singh delivered a fierce speech at the SCO Defence Ministers’ Meeting in Qingdao, China, taking a veiled yet unmistakable dig at Pakistan, with its Defence Minister Khawaja Asif present in the room. Referring to the horrific Pahalgam terror attack where 26 civilians were brutally killed—including a Nepali national—Singh denounced cross-border terrorism, called out radicalisation and extremism, and reminded SCO members of India’s Operation Sindoor—launched to dismantle terror camps in May 2025. “Peace cannot coexist with terrorism,” Singh asserted, adding that SCO must not tolerate double standards and must bring terror sponsors to justice. With China hosting and tensions still high along the LAC, this marks the first visit to the country by a senior Indian minister since the Galwan standoff.#rajnathsingh #scomeeting #crossborderterrorism #pahalgamattack #operationsindoor #pakistanterror #khwajaasif #terrorismdebate #indiachina #scoqingdao #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
