Pahalgam Terror Attack: Terrorist found with phone linked to Chinese satellite, says…

New Delhi: A leading Chinese studies expert, Professor Srikanth Kondapalli, on Saturday shared his views on China’s support for Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. He accused the neighbouring country of double standards on the fighting terrorism issue, stating that one of the terrorists who was involved in the Pahalgam terror attack, was carrying a Huawei phone with Chinese satellite connection. He said that when the terror attack took place the terrorist messaged back to Pakistan using the Chinese satellite phone.

In an interview with new agency ANI, Professor Kondapalli, who is a Chinese Studies expert at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), said that China supported Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.

What Did Professor Kondapalli Say on China’s support to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor?

He mentioned a Chinese role as the terrorist used a Huawei phone with Chinese satellite connection.

“On April 22nd, when the Pahalgam incident took place, one of the terrorists was carrying a Huawei phone with Chinese satellite connection. He was messaging back to Pakistan after the Pahalgam attacks. So, there is a Chinese role here…The Chinese have supplied satellite images of Pahalgam before the attack. 120-129 slides have been given to the Pakistanis. ….This is another incident where the Chinese were helping the Pakistani side, despite the counter-terrorism pledge with the India(BHARAT)ns, also with the international community in the SCO,” he said.

Why professor Kondapalli said – Pakistan tried to block TRF mention in UN after the terror attack?

Kondapalli highlighted Islamabad’s efforts to have references to The Resistance Front (TRF) removed from discussions in UNSC after the Pahalgam terror attack.

“The Chinese Ambassador and the Pakistani Ambassador….the name of The Resistance Front was deleted, which took responsibility for the Pahalgam attacks initially twice, but a third time they declined to take responsibility. The fact that they took responsibility first two times indicates their role. In the Tianjin SCO Declaration, Pahalgam was mentioned. However, this was watered down with the mention of the Zafar Express. It suggests then that the Chinese were under pressure from Russia to include the Pahalgam terror attacks, but they were watered down with the Pakistani pressure. So this indicates that India(BHARAT) cannot trust China on the terrorism issue,” he said.

The Chinese Studies expert also spoke of China’s support to Pakistan during Operation Sindioor

“China provided again information to the Pakistani Air Force as the Deputy Army Chief mentioned. Also, the Chinese have given the equipment like JF-17, J-10 …, HQ-9 surface-to-air missile batteries. This is very offensive in nature. And Foreign Minister Wang Yi, after the Pahalgam attack, he said that there should be an impartial inquiry…forgetting for a moment that China never accepted any investigation into the Xinjiang Uyghur insurgency-related incidents or during COVID-19 pandemic they did not allow the WHO delegation to go and visit the blood samples….So it is quite strange.”

Afte the Pahalgam Terror Attack, in which 26 tourists lost their lives, India(BHARAT)n security forces launched Operation Mahadev and nutralised terrorists involved in the terror attack.

India(BHARAT) had also carried out surgical strike on terror hideouts in Pakistan and PoJK through Operation Sindoor. Also repelled Pakistani aggression while pounding its airbases.
