New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has recently made arbitrary claims on the issue of ceasefire between India and Pakistan, which has become a matter of concern for India. On May 10, Trump posted on X and claimed that India and Pakistan have accepted the ceasefire. Trump not only talked about ceasefire, but also talked about solving Kashmir as a "thousand-year-old issue" quickly.

The country's well-known journalist Manoj Tibrewal Aakash, while analyzing this issue in his special show "The MTA Speaks", said that the Indian Foreign Ministry's stand has been clear that Kashmir is India's internal matter and no third country's mediation is accepted in this context.
While talking to the media at the White House, Trump said, "I am proud to tell you that we have stopped a nuclear war." However, his claim was immediately rejected by India.

Trump's Boastful Claim

Such absurd statements of Trump are sending the message that he is not only making fabricated claims to strengthen his position but he is also taking Pakistan's side in a contradictory manner. Shashi Tharoor, who is a Congress MP from Kerala, has strongly opposed Trump's statements. He said Trump has undermined India's interests and his statements are 'deeply disappointing'.

Shashi Tharoor Objects To Trump Claim

Tharoor wrote on social media, "Trump's comments undermine India's long-standing stance on cross-border terrorism and Kashmir." He also warned that Trump's comments could jeopardize the diplomatic progress achieved over decades. Tharoor clarified that "India will never talk to a terrorist with a gun to its temple."

Trump Claims To Mediate

In this case, Tharoor stressed that Trump's offer of mediation gives Pakistan the legitimacy it should not have. Tharoor said, "India has never sought and will never seek mediation by any foreign country on its problems with Pakistan."

Reacting to Trump's statements, Tharoor also pointed out that due to these comments, an attempt is being made to bring India and Pakistan's relations together on a global level in a new way. He said that for decades, world leaders have been advised not to visit India and Pakistan together, and Trump's statements break this paradigm.

India's Clear Stand

India has always maintained that Kashmir is a bilateral issue and does not welcome any third party intervention in the matter. Trump's statements disappoint India as they give undue prominence to Pakistan and internationalise the issue.

This episode of Trump's bragging has once again proved that sometimes it is important to hold back, especially when the subject is so sensitive globally.
