India Calls Out Terror Backers as Pakistan Minister Attends Forum

India on Monday reinforced its uncompromising position against terrorism and nations that provide sanctuary to militant groups, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh making pointed remarks at a multilateral forum where a Pakistani minister was present. Singh's address emphasized that there can be no safe havens for terrorist organizations, signaling India's continued vigilance against cross-border terror threats that have long plagued the region. The strong messaging comes amid ongoing tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad over security concerns. In a separate statement, India reiterated its long-standing opposition to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), citing concerns that the proposed trade route passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. New Delhi has consistently objected to the project, viewing it as an attempt to legitimize territorial claims it disputes. The objection reflects India's broader stance on the Kashmir issue and its rejection of infrastructure projects that it believes undermine its sovereignty claims over the region.
