New Delhi: India and Pakistan have begun India-Pakistan Back Channel Talks following the military operation, according to credible reports. In a notable development, retired generals and diplomats from both sides held at least two secret meetings in the past three months as part of India Pakistan secret meetings to manage rising tensions after Operation Sindoor. NSA Ajit Doval has been briefed on these developments.
These India Pakistan back channel talks represent the first known informal contact between the two countries since Operation Sindoor was conducted. The discussions are focused on establishing a robust crisis management India Pakistan mechanism.
Key Highlights of India-Pakistan Back Channel Talks
- Secret Meetings Held: Two discreet meetings have taken place — one in Qatar and the other in the capital of another Asian country.
- Participants: Retired Army Generals and experienced diplomats from both India and Pakistan.
- Not Official Channels: These are informal back-channel engagements and not formal government-to-government talks.
- NSA Ajit Doval Updated: The office of NSA Ajit Doval and the National Security Council Secretariat have been kept in the loop regarding these India Pakistan secret meetings.
The main goal of these India Pakistan back channel talks is to create an effective crisis management India Pakistan system. At present, the DGMO hotline remains the only active communication link between the two armies.
India’s Clear Stand on Terrorism
Despite the India Pakistan back channel talks, India’s position remains firm — terror and talks cannot go together. Sources confirm that Operation Sindoor is currently in a paused state, but any new major terror incident originating from Pakistan will invite a strong Indian response.
Ajit Doval Pakistan policy matters are being monitored closely. The veteran National Security Advisor’s office is actively tracking these informal engagements while ensuring India’s core security interests are protected.
Why These Talks Matter Now
Operation Sindoor had significantly escalated tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. With no formal diplomatic dialogue currently active, both sides appear to recognise the risks of total communication breakdown. These India Pakistan secret meetings are seen as an attempt to prevent miscalculation during future crises.
Pakistan, including its military leadership under Field Marshal Asim Munir, has also shown interest in initiating such back-channel contact for better crisis management India Pakistan.
What’s Next?
While no political decision has been taken yet at the highest level in New Delhi to formalise these talks, the groundwork for limited informal engagement is underway. Experts believe such discreet India Pakistan back channel talks are crucial to reduce tensions and avoid dangerous escalation.
