ISLAMABAD: Former President of Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) has said that India faced diplomatic isolation at the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit as its attempts to portray itself as a victim of terrorism backfired.
“The world is now witnessing the true face of the extremist Hindutva regime – one that exports violence, fuels division, and violates international law,” said Sardar Masood Khan in an exclusive interview with a local news TV channel, as cited by Pakistan’s state-run APP news agency.
Pakistan’s former representative to the United Nations noted that New Delhi’s narrative failed to find endorsement among key regional powers at the SCO meeting.
He emphasised that the SCO operates through consensus, and any member state’s disagreement results in the exclusion of that viewpoint from the final declaration. “India’s positions were not accepted by Russia, China, Iran, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and others,” Khan noted, adding that this development reflected growing international awareness of India’s destabilising role in the region.
He explained that India attempted to frame its position around the SCO’s core principles of combating terrorism, separatism, and extremism. However, this stance faced strong resistance, given that India’s ruling party itself promotes religious extremism and ideological fascism.
“The Bharatiya Janata Party’s government thrives on extremism and exclusion. Its policies are inherently extremist, and its credentials on combating terrorism are discredited by its own conduct,” he said.
He further referenced credible international documentation, most recently from Canada, which implicated India in transnational interference and terrorism. “The assassination of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil and the exposure of Indian agents in the United States show that New Delhi has crossed red lines,” Masood Khan remarked.
“When India levels false accusations against Pakistan, it is like the thief scolding the police. The world is no longer buying their story,” he noted.
Their doctrines are dangerous and their intentions clear – India seeks to dominate the region through fear and force,” he added.
Khan commended Pakistan’s balanced diplomacy and resolute stance at the SCO Summit, noting that member states supported Pakistan because they recognised the realities on the ground and dismissed India’s narrative as fabricated. “India failed to sell its narrative and instead exposed itself as a destabilising force,” he concluded.
He reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to peace, stability, and responsible statecraft. He urged the government to continue exposing India’s disinformation campaigns, promote factual narratives.
