Pune (Maharashtra) [India], June 18 (ANI): As Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked with US president Donald Trump to firmly convey that India did not accept any mediation on the issues with Pakistan, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut on Wednesday took a jibe at the PM, claiming that unless President Trump posts about the talk publicly no one will believe what was conveyed during the talk.
PM Modi held a telephonic conversation with Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada, which the PM attended at the invitation of his Canadian counterpart, Mark Carney.
'Modi's people are saying this, but President Trump should tweet about it and say that he takes back his words. That's what I have talked about and what I said 17 times before that I mediated (between India and Pakistan). I take back those words that Trump should say. Who will believe what PM Modi will say now?' Raut told ANI here.
President Trump has repeatedly claimed that the US helped mediate the conflict with Pakistan during the recent hostilities, a claim which India has repeatedly denied.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri noted that the conversation, which lasted over half an hour, had PM Modi brief Trump about India's Operation Sindoor and firmly conveyed the message that India has never accepted and will never accept mediation on the issues with Pakistan.
'Prime Minister Modi made it clear to President Trump that during this entire episode, at no time, at any level, were issues such as the India-US trade deal or mediation by the US between India and Pakistan discussed. The halt to military action was discussed directly between India and Pakistan, through existing channels of the two armies, and was at the request of Pakistan,' he noted.
He added, 'Prime Minister Modi stressed that India has never accepted mediation, does not accept it, and will never accept it. There is complete political unanimity in India on this issue.'
Misri informed that US President Trump understood the points made in detail by the Prime Minister and expressed support for India's fight against terrorism. (ANI)
