‘Won’t Sign if …’: S Jaishankar Exposes SCO’s Hypocrisy on Terror | India Takes a Stand

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has come out strongly in support of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s refusal to sign the SCO joint statement—a move that has sent shockwaves through diplomatic circles. Jaishankar revealed that “one country” opposed any mention of terrorism in the statement, despite the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation being formed to combat terrorism. “When terrorism is the core concern and you refuse to name it, how can we be expected to sign?” Jaishankar asked, indirectly pointing to Pakistan. The statement ignored the Pahalgam terror attack—which claimed 26 lives in April—while referencing an incident in Pakistan’s Balochistan. India called out the double standards, and Jaishankar reaffirmed that India will not be part of consensus if terrorism is whitewashed.#jaishankar #sco2025 #terrorism #indianforeignpolicy #rajnathsingh #pahalgamattack #indiawalkout #operationsindoor #geopolitics #pakistan #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
