Pakistan High Commission in Malaysia Rejects Claims of Blocking India Delegation

The Pakistan High Commission in Malaysia dismissed as “preposterous” and “unthinkable” allegations that it tried to block India’s Operation Sindoor outreach delegation. High Commissioner Syed Ahsan Raza Shah told Malaysiakini that it would be unprofessional for an embassy to urge a host country to bar another nation’s delegation, emphasizing respect for Malaysia’s policies. The claims, reported by India’s NDTV citing unnamed sources, surfaced after the Indian team, led by Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Jha and including MPs like Aparajita Sarangi and Salman Khurshid, returned home. NDTV alleged Malaysia rejected Pakistan’s purported request, a claim Shah strongly denied.

Sources told India Today TV that Pakistan’s embassy in Malaysia, citing the “Kashmir matter in the UN” and shared Islamic identity, allegedly urged Malaysia to cancel all 10 programmes of India’s Operation Sindoor outreach delegation, led by JDU MP Sanjay Jha. Malaysia rejected the request, approving the nine-member team’s schedule. The delegation, including BJP MPs Aparajita Sarangi, Brij Lal, and others, alongside Trinamool’s Abhishek Banerjee and Congress’s Salman Khurshid, met Malaysian leaders like PKR’s YB Sim Tze Tzin in Kuala Lumpur, the final stop of a five-nation tour.
