I'm not familiar withskypeforlinux, but the normal syntax for long options is--option=valueor--option valueso try--callto=+91XXXXXXXXXXor--callto +91XXXXXXXXXX.

Aside from this article on safaribooksonline.com and a bunch of other third-party sources I couldn't find any description of command-line options for skypeforlinux.
I tried every combination with --callto I could think of and couldn't get it to work either. As not even the fairly common --version flag is recognized by the program I'm afraid the current Skype for Linux doesn't have any command-line options at all any more – I guess they were removed when the transition from Skype (for Linux) 4.3 to Skype for Linux 8 was made.

From https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/skype-hacks/0596101899/ch04s05.html it looks like there should be no space after --callto:.
Skype /callto:+442075551212 will place a call to a regular telephone number
