Claim

On the same days as Pakistan's Indus summit, pro-Pakistan voices in India began issuing peace letters and appeals for dialogue with Pakistan.

“Immediately, in India their proxy started speaking, let's have peace, let's have peace... started writing letters, appeals, peace calls, immediately.”

Rationale

The verifiable factual core is accurate: peace letters and appeals for dialogue with Pakistan (notably a 117-citizen joint open letter) did emerge in India during the same days as Pakistan's Indus summit and associated Track-2 talks. However, the claim's central framing — that these were 'pro-Pakistan voices'/Pakistan's 'proxy' acting on cue — is an unsubstantiated, pejorative causal characterization. The signatories were a cross-border civil-society group of activists, former diplomats and intellectuals, and India's Foreign Secretary confirmed such participants act in a private capacity with no official coordination. A genuine temporal coincidence is thus presented as orchestrated proxy behavior, making the claim misleading rather than outright false.
