Pakistan wanted Malaysia to cancel India’s Operation Sindoor outreach program

Pakistan wanted Malaysia to cancel India’s Operation Sindoor outreach program that was held in Malaysia.

The demand however was rejected by Putrajaya, reported several India media outlets.

“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, India Today reported.

The Indian delegation led by by JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha met with Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul.

They also met chairman of the Parliamentary Special Committee on International Relations and International Trade, Wong Chen (PH-Subang).

Both were briefed on the Pahalgam terror attack which claimed the lives of 26 civilians on April 22. They were also briefed on India’s anti-terrorism stance and Operation Sindoor that was carried out on May 7.

Three political parties were also briefed on the same subject matter.

PKR was led by Sim Tze Tzin, DAP by Deputy Minister of Law and Institutional Reform M Kulasegaran and MIC by its president, Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran.

Johari emphasised on the principles of peace and dialogue as a foundation to resolving any conflicts.

“As an institution that represents the voices of the people, Parliament plays a vital role to practice the values of peace, mutual respect and resolution through diplomatic and negotiation channels,” Johari said via Twitter.

The three parties that attended the briefing unequivocally rejected terrorism.

For the record, some prominent figures here had initially supported Pakistan.
