Rajnath Singh criticizes Pakistan at SCO meet

India Jun 26, 2025

At a major security summit in China, Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called out cross-border terrorism and urged SCO countries to take a united stand against it—clearly pointing at Pakistan.
He stressed that radicalization and terror are serious threats for the whole region.

India refused to sign statement that ignored Pahalgam attack

Singh specifically demanded the group condemn the 2025 Pahalgam attack, carried out by a Pakistan-backed group.
India even refused to sign an SCO statement that ignored this attack, showing it won't compromise on its anti-terror stance.
The meeting also marked a rare high-level visit to China since border tensions began in 2020, highlighting just how complicated regional security ties are right now.
