Debate With Arnab: India Declines To Sign SCO Joint Statement In Significant Snub To China and Pakistan

This apparent double standard has drawn sharp responses from New Delhi, which insists that international platforms must uphold objectivity and fairness when addressing issues of terrorism. Catch the Debate With Arnab as we break down the significance of India’s move, its impact on SCO dynamics, and what it signals for Indo-China relations and Pakistan’s diplomatic maneuvers.
