Claim
O.P. Shah is one of the prominent signatories of the peace letter and is the chairman of the Centre for Peace and Progress.
“इस पत्र पर हस्ताक्षर करने वालों में से एक प्रमुख व्यक्ति ओपी शाह हैं... ओपी शा शांति और प्रगति केंद्र के अध्यक्ष हैं।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Contemporaneous reporting on the June 30, 2026 India-Pakistan peace letter confirms O.P. Shah is chairman of the Centre for Peace and Progress and the central figure behind the letter. The only minor nuance is that most reports describe him as the coordinator of the appeal rather than explicitly listing him among the named signatories, but his identification and role as stated in the broadcast are substantively correct.
