India refuses to sign joint statement at Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in China over Kashmir tensions with Pakistan. Delhi blames Pakistan for sheltering a militant group responsible for attacks, leading to India's stance. The joint statement omitted mentioning the Pahalgam attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations. India calls for SCO to address cross-border terrorism accountability, amidst ongoing conflicts over Kashmir ownership.
