New Delhi: India wants to put a lid on the controversy over US President Donald Trump’s claim that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked for former’s help in mediation on the Kashmir issue.

“I thought we moved on and frankly I think we should move on. A statement was made by us, external affairs minister made statements in parliament, state department made a clarification. We should leave it at that and move on,” said MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar on Thursday at his weekly briefing.

Trump had told reporters at a joint press appearance with visiting Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday that Modi had asked for his help on Kashmir during their meeting at G20 summit in Osaka.

India had swiftly issued a statement denying that Indian PM had made such a request. It was followed by statements made by external affairs minister S. Jaishankar in both houses of parliament.

While there was no explicit denouncement of Trump, US state department also reiterated that Kashmir was a “bilateral” dispute.

The bilateral nature of the Kashmir dispute is one of the cardinal principles of Indian foreign policy, while Pakistan had always called for internationalisation of this issue.

Kumar insisted that the India-US relationship was bigger than the fracas over the US president’s remarks.

“I think we have to look at the relationship from a larger perspective… whatever we have to say, we have done that. Now, the two sides are keen to work together to strengthen the very important partnership…We are very strong strategic partners and we have brought deep convergence across range of issues. It is a full-service relationship,” Kumar said.

Meanwhile, the Indian spokesperson described Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s statement that there was about 30,000-40,000 terrorists who had trained “in some part of Afghanistan or Kashmir” as a “glaring admission”.

“It is a glaring admission by the Pakistani leadership…. This is not the first time that Pakistan and Pakistani leadership owned up to the presence of terror training camps and terrorists in Pakistan…. It is also in public knowledge and international community knows about it,” Kumar said.

This desire (to move on) brings out their hidden apprehension in the open.

India knows very well what has happened and "what" is coming towards them.

They want to change the topic, as they cannot afford to continue negating Trump (which is equivalent to saying that US President lied). They also know the "reason" why Trump said this so openly.

02-28 has shown that 02-27 has the potential to bring out the hysteria of the “mass suicide” in the dark minds of the darker Hindutuva!! It’s unacceptable to the leaders of the Ehl-I Dunya!!! They had offered a golden opportunity to India to show it’s place, but the Indians not only wasted it badly but also wanted to “disturb” the White men by approaching the “forbidden tree”....

Absolutely 100% true.

…..and they (Indians) proved themselves to be the cowards; so they don't have diminished their role in the game.

Very mature opinion to say India should move on. What Trump said should be taken with a pinch of salt (or a bag, whatever you prefer) otherwise we Indians will be as petty as Pakistani posters. We infact should support Pakistan to go back to US lap again ;)

Modi has been hiding under his pillow since IK-Trump meeting. Says a lot!
 
.
Dint Imran Khan move on after Trump's humiliation of Pakistan ,calling Pakistan literally **** right .Nothing can compare to that
I can understand your burns.

It’s interesting how Pakistanis on PDF have become instant Trump fans after his comment on Kashmir. :enjoy:
no one is praising trump here, we are enjoying the silence of tweeter choukidar silence and hiding, do not have the courage to tweet even, if he did not beg trump. he loves to play gangster on tweeter.

Stick to topic, no personal attacks and abuses/insults will be tolerated. Consider this a soft warning

U Nailed it bro.. :victory1:

The fact that Modi chose not to respond to Trump's comments and instead let the External Affairs Minister handle it shows India's confidence and class in our position on the issue. OTOH, you have a Pakistani DG ISPR who keeps directly responding to random Indian internet trolls on Twitter.

  • Time to move on Modi begging Trump for mediation...
  • and liberation of Kulbhushan Jadhav...
  • and on the claims of killing 350 Jud operatives in Balakot...
  • and India shooting down an F-16...
  • and that Pakistan was involved in Pulwama...
  • and Mumbai attacks...
  • and Samjhota Blasts...
  • and Pathankot attacks...
  • and Kashmir...
  • and that you are Indians...
