Indias SCO Invite After Operation Sindoor Puts Pakistan in a Fix: Will Islamabad Blink?

India has invited Pakistan to Delhi, approximately 18 months after Operation Sindoor, and the move has surprised many observers. Relations remain frozen since the Pahalgam attack, with no trade, no water sharing and no sporting handshakes. So why extend the invitation? Because Pakistan remains an SCO member. India proposed the first SCO Civilisational Dialogue Forum, scheduled in Delhi from November 20 to 22, and every member was invited, including Pakistans culture minister. Will Islamabad send him? It has not yet confirmed. Delhi maintains terror and normal relations cannot go together, and last Septembers visit by an Indian coordinator to Islamabad was purely multilateral. Meanwhile, sport remains a wall, with boycotts running both ways. The message is clear: this is controlled engagement, not a thaw, and certainly not a reward.
