Rajnath Singh upholds India's anti-terrorism stance in China

At a recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meeting in Qingdao, China, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh refused to sign a joint statement because it didn't clearly call out terrorism as a state policy.
He felt the wording was too soft and wouldn't reflect India's strong position, especially with ongoing concerns about cross-border terrorism.

TL;DR

India won't compromise on its fight against terrorism

Singh's move sends a clear message: India won't compromise on its fight against terrorism.
By highlighting the recent Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir, he reminded everyone of the real impact of these issues.
For young people especially, this shows how global meetings can shape security back home—and why standing up for clear principles matters.
