Defence Minister Rajnath Singh tells the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) that the “ecosystem of terrorism” must be firmly and collectively dismantled. Speaking at an SCO meeting where Pakistan’s Ishaq Dar is also present, Singh says terrorism radicalises societies and denies young people the opportunities they should have.

Several outlets report that Singh also argues there should be no justification for terrorism and no “double standards” in how SCO members address it. The coverage frames his remarks as a call for coordinated action among member states, particularly in light of ongoing regional security concerns. While the articles provide limited additional detail on specific proposals or measures, they consistently emphasise Singh’s message that combating terrorism requires a unified, consistent approach across countries.
