India Rejects China's Claim of Mediating 'Operation Sindoor' Conflict with Pakistan

In this Special Report, India Today Global Editor Pranay Upadhyay analyses the recent claim by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that Beijing mediated the 'Operation Sindoor' conflict between India and Pakistan in May 2025. India has firmly rejected this assertion, maintaining that the ceasefire was a bilateral decision with no third-party interference. Upadhyay highlights the irony of the claim, noting that the Indian Army had previously cited China's support for Pakistan during the conflict. He states, 'China might be having this intention to play a bigger role in the geopolitics... but certainly as far as the India Pakistan conflict is concerned umpteen time It has been clarified... there cannot be any role of any third party.'
