Rajnath Singh Refuses To Sign SCO Statement Over Pahalgam Snub, Balochistan Mention | India vs Pak
In a bold move at the SCO Defence Ministers' meeting in Qingdao, China, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh refused to sign the joint statement after it failed to mention the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians and included a reference to Balochistan. India strongly objected, seeing this as a veiled accusation pushed by Pakistan and China. Singh reaffirmed India's zero tolerance towards terrorism and emphasized that peace cannot coexist with cross-border terror. He cited the Pahalgam massacre by Lashkar proxy The Resistance Front and defended India's right to act decisively through actions like Operation Sindoor. This diplomatic stand underlines New Delhi's growing assertiveness on global platforms.

Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir backs terror groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir
Pakistan Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir has backed terror groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir, saying that what India describes as terrorism is a 'legitimate struggle' and that Pakistan will continue providing political, diplomatic, and moral support to the Kashmiri people. Munir made the remarks at a passing out parade at the Pakistan Naval Academy on Saturday. (AFP/File) Munir made the remarks while addressing a passing out parade at the Pakistan Naval Academy on Saturday, when he also said that India has 'twice undertaken acts of unprovoked aggression against Pakistan' and the onus of any future escalation 'will squarely lie with the aggressor'. The speech was reminiscent of Munir's remarks at an Overseas Pakistanis Convention in Islamabad on April 16, less than a week before the Pahalgam terror attack, when he described Kashmir as the 'jugular vein' of Pakistan and said Islamabad will continue backing the struggle against 'Indian occupation'. There was no immediate response from Indian officials to Munir's latest remarks. Munir's previous remarks on Kashmir have been rubbished by the external affairs ministry. 'What India tends to term as terrorism is in fact the legitimate struggle as per the international conventions. Those who endeavoured to subdue the will of Kashmiri people and sought conflict elimination instead of resolution have made it more relevant and pronounced through their own actions,' Munir said while addressing the gathering in Karachi that included top military officers, civilian officials, and diplomats. 'We stand firm with the Kashmiri people for their right of self-determination for the resolution of the internationally recognised long-standing dispute in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of the people of Kashmir,' he added. Munir contended that 'regional peace will forever remain elusive' and there would be 'perpetual danger of conflict in South Asia' without the 'just and peaceful resolution' of the Kashmir issue. Paying tribute to those who are struggling for 'the right of self-determination', Munir said: 'Pakistan will always continue to provide political, diplomatic and moral support to the valiant people of…Jammu and Kashmir.' India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 to target terrorist infrastructure in territories controlled by Pakistan in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. This triggered four days of intense clashes, with both sides using drones, missiles, and long-range weapons, before they reached an understanding to halt military actions on May 10. Munir claimed India's leadership had 'twice undertaken acts of unprovoked aggression against Pakistan' in recent years, under the 'pretext of counter terrorism'. He was referring to the clashes in May and the cross-border air strike carried out by India in response to the Pulwama suicide bombing in 2019 that killed 40 Indian troopers. At that time, both sides had briefly engaged in aerial battles and skirmishes. 'Pakistan, despite grave provocations, acted with restraint and maturity and demonstrated its commitment to regional peace and stability, which has led to Pakistan's role as net regional stabiliser,' Munir said. 'However, the assumption that Pakistan would have any constraints in the face of any future violation of its sovereignty reflects a dangerous misreading of strategic fundamentals…any enemy acting on perceived vulnerability of Pakistan under the illusion of strategic impunity or miscalculation would get an assured, swift and a very befitting response.'

Asim Munir turns a blind eye to terrorism, calls Pakistan ‘regional stabiliser'
Turning a blind eye to state-sponsored terrorism, Pakistan's Army Chief, General Asim Munir, on Saturday accused India of launching two unprovoked attacks on Pakistan, describing the incidents as a 'troubling absence of strategic foresight.' In recent years, Pakistan has grappled with a range of overlapping crises, including a resurgence of 'state-sponsored terrorism' and escalating border tensions with both Afghanistan and Iran. These challenges have been compounded by a deeply polarised and unstable political landscape that has long characterised the country's governance. Speaking at the Pakistan Naval Academy in Karachi, Munir blamed New Delhi for escalating regional tensions and warned that any future aggression would be met with a 'decisive response.' Calling Pakistan a 'net regional stabiliser,' Munir said that the country had responded 'resolutely' to previous Indian actions, positioning Islamabad as a defender of peace against what he characterised as India's destabilising moves. Munir once again raised the Kashmir issue, referring to the region as under 'India's illegal occupation.' He stated, 'At such a time, we must remember the sacrifices of our Kashmiri brothers who are struggling against India's illegal occupation.' Since 2018, Pakistan has been designated a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. It was redesignated a CPC in 2022. According to the CIA World Factbook, Pakistan is one of the world's top transit corridors for opiates and cannabis products trafficked with Afghanistan and Iran. As many as 26 people were killed and several others injured in the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on 22 April. Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Under Operation Sindoor, India had conducted airstrikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) on May 7, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. A day after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, India took a series of punitive measures against Pakistan that included putting the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 in "abeyance". 'Following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, India has in exercise of its rights as a sovereign nation under international law, placed the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism,' the MEA said.

Kashmir Is Our...': Pakistan Army Chief Munir Spews Venom Again, Reiterates Support For Terrorists
Operation Sindoor: Indian Navy Officer's 'Jet Loss' Comment Ignites Storm, Govt Rushes to Clarify A new controversy has erupted over India's top-secret Operation Sindoor, after Navy Captain and Defence Attaché to Indonesia Shiv Kumar publicly stated that the Indian Air Force lost 'some aircraft' during the cross-border anti-terror strikes in Pakistan and PoK. Speaking at a defence seminar on June 10, he revealed that initial IAF losses occurred due to political constraints, as forces were told not to strike Pakistani military infrastructure or air defences in the first wave. He added that tactics were changed later to suppress enemy air defences using BrahMos missiles. The Indian Embassy in Indonesia has since issued a clarification, calling the remarks 'misrepresented' and 'taken out of context'. This has reignited debate over whether India lost Rafale or other jets in the operation—a claim long denied by officials.#OperationSindoor #IAFLosses #ShivKumar #IndianAirForce #IndiaPakistan #RafaleJet #pakistan #pakistanairforce #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews 1.3K views | 1 hour ago
