There is no question of accepting mediation on Kashmir: Rajnath in Lok Sabha

Date:

New Delhi: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday asserted in the Lok Sabha that ‘there is no question of accepting mediation on Kashmir’ as the opposition led by the Congress demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s clarification on claims by US President Donald Trump that he had asked for mediation.

“We cannot compromise with India’s self-respect,” Rajnath Singh said in the Lok Sabha. He spoke moments after the Congress staged a walkout, protesting what they called the PM’s silence.

“What the foreign minister said is authentic because he was present when Trump and PM Modi held discussions in Osaka and he has put out the statement on record. We feel there is no further statement required by anyone on this,” Rajnath Singh said in the Lok Sabha.

“There was no discussion on Kashmir during the meeting between the Prime Minister and US President Trump in June. There is no question of any mediation on Kashmir issue,” he added.

Meanwhile, Jaishankar had made a statement in both houses denying President Trump’s claim that PM Modi had asked him to mediate on Kashmir.

“I would like to categorically assure…that no such request has been made by the Prime Minister to the US President. I repeat, no such request was made by the Prime Minister to the US President,” Jaishankar said.
