New Delhi: Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh\u2019s contradictory statements on terrorism have exposed the hypocrisy behind what India describes as the Operation Sindoor narrative.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, at the SCO Defence Ministers\u2019 Meeting in Bishkek on April 28, 2026, Singh claimed \u201cterrorism has no nationality and no religion,\u201d projecting India as a responsible actor. Yet two days later at a summit, he branded Pakistan the \u201cepicentre of international terrorism,\u201d politicising the issue he earlier said should remain beyond nationality or religion.<\/p>\n

Analysts said Singh also claimed India halted Operation Sindoor \u201con its own terms\u201d without succumbing to any \u201cnuclear bluff,\u201d despite conflicting battlefield narratives.<\/p>\n

The inconsistency reflects a dual strategy: moderation before international stakeholders and hostility before domestic audiences, undermining India\u2019s credibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
