India refused to sign the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) joint statement at the defence ministers’ meeting in Qingdao, China, after the document omitted reference to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists in Jammu and Kashmir. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh insisted there should be no double standards on terrorism and called for all perpetrators to be held accountable . India viewed the statement as “pro-Pakistan” for mentioning incidents in Pakistan but ignoring India’s concerns. The meeting ended without a joint declaration, as SCO rules require full consensus. #IndiaSCO #rajnathsingh #sco2025 #pahalgamattack #jammukashmir #SCOChinaMeeting #indiapakistan #antiterrorism #RajnathSpeech #defencenews #IndiaRefusesSCO #NoDoubleStandards #terrorismnews #indiachinatensions #kashmirterrorattack
