In a quick response, India’s foreign ministry said late Monday that New Delhi has made no request to US President Trump to mediate on the Kashmir issue.
The statement came following Trump’s mediation offer on Kashmir issue made to Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, Raveesh Kumar, said in a statement: “We have seen @POTUS’s remarks to the press that he is ready to mediate, if requested by India & Pakistan, on Kashmir issue. No such request has been made by PM @narendramodi to US President.
“It has been India’s consistent position that all outstanding issues with Pakistan are discussed only bilaterally. Any engagement with Pakistan would require an end to cross border terrorism.
