Beijing, Pakistan’s National Security Adviser (NSA) Lt Gen Asim Malik silenced India’s national security adviser Ajit Doval with his well-argued observations as they came face to face at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s (SCO) meeting of NSAs in Beijing, China.
During his speech, Doval referred to Operation Sindoor as an action against terrorists, and levelled baseless allegations against Pakistan. However, Lt Gen Malik, in a well-reasoned and forceful speech, debunked Doval’s narrative as a “bundle of lies”.
Lt Gen Malik said India has become accustomed to blaming others for its internal problems and failures. He also asserted that there is irrefutable evidence of the Indian state’s links with terrorists in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He stressed that Pakistan’s unparalleled sacrifices in the war against terrorism are evident to all, while India’s role has been nothing but hypocrisy. He urged the SCO to reject such a hypocritical narrative, which can create obstacles to achieving the common goals of regional solidarity and security. Lt Gen Malik’s assertions silenced Doval.
