Pakistan Tries 'Muslim Unity' Card To Halt Indian Outreach In Malaysia, Faces Snub: Reports
Last Updated: Pakistan urged Malaysia to cancel 'Operation Sindoor' outreach events by citing Islamic solidarity and Kashmir, reports have suggested. The request, however, was firmly rejected. Pakistan urged Malaysian officials to cancel all 'Operation Sindoor' outreach programmes by Indian delegations, citing Islamic solidarity. The demand, however, was rejected by Kuala Lumpur, NDTV reported. Another report with India Today claimed, Pakistan, in its request, cited the 'Kashmir matter at the United Nations' to back its call for cancellation of the delegations' meetings. 'We are an Islamic country, you are an Islamic country… don't listen to the Indian delegation, cancel all their programmes in Malaysia," the Pakistani embassy told officials of the Malaysian government, the report claimed. However, despite Pakistan's attempt to derail the Indian delegation's visit, Malaysia on Tuesday reaffirmed its commitment to peace. The country also thanked the Indian all-party parliamentary delegation for the briefing on New Delhi's approach to combating terrorism. The delegation, led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, met with Speaker of the House of Representatives, Parliament of Malaysia (Dewan Rakyat), YB Tan Sri Dato' (Dr) Johari bin Abdul and briefed on India's unwavering policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism, and sought cooperation of Malaysian parliamentarians in the collective fight against terrorism. The Speaker reaffirmed Malaysia's commitment to peace and thanked the delegation for the briefing on India's approach in dealing with terrorism at large. The delegation also met the Parliamentary Special Committee on International Relations and International Trade, chaired by YB Wong Chen, Member of Parliament and Chairman of the Parliamentary Special Committee on International Relations and International Trade, and briefed about the heinous terrorist attack in Pahalgam and highlighted India's zero tolerance policy towards terrorism. The delegation to Malaysia is one of the seven multi-party delegations India has tasked to visit 33 global capitals to reach out to the international community to emphasise Pakistan's links to terrorism. Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives.
