Overview

• Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has framed any terror attack as an act of war, authorising proactive cross-border strikes under a new zero-tolerance doctrine.
• Since carrying out Operation Sindoor on May 7 and brokering a ceasefire on May 10, New Delhi has suspended the Indus Water Treaty and lobbied the Financial Action Task Force to greylist Pakistan.
• Singh’s five-point plan calls for a universal definition of terrorism, freezing terror funds, sanctions on state sponsors, accountability for proxy warfare and adoption of the UN’s Comprehensive Convention against International Terrorism.
• India is demanding the extradition of UN-designated terrorists such as Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar and urging that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal be placed under International Atomic Energy Agency oversight.
• High-level Indian delegations are visiting key capitals to rally support for a coordinated global strategy aimed at dismantling terrorist networks and cutting off their infrastructure.
