India Rejects Third-Party Mediation on Kashmir: PM Modi’s Clear Message to President Trump

In a decisive and unapologetic move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirmed India’s longstanding position on the Kashmir issue during a phone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump late Tuesday. The 35-minute call, which took place while Modi was in Canada attending the G7 Summit, was marked by clarity and conviction.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, speaking to reporters on Wednesday morning, stated that PM Modi made it "absolutely clear" that India neither seeks nor will accept third-party mediation regarding Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This statement came in response to President Trump's query about Operation Sindoor, an ongoing counter-terrorism operation near the Line of Control.

“Prime Minister Modi emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir is an internal matter of India,” Misri noted, highlighting New Delhi’s consistent policy of bilateral resolution—excluding any outside interference, including from friendly nations.

This strong diplomatic messaging not only reaffirmed India's sovereignty over Jammu and Kashmir but also sent a firm signal to both Islamabad and Washington: territorial integrity is non-negotiable.

As global leaders convened at the G7 Summit, India's position on sensitive geopolitical matters remained grounded in constitutional principles and national interest—demonstrating a leadership style that is both assertive and responsible.
