Trump rectified his 'Kashmir mistake': Congress

While talking to ETV Bharat, Congress spokesperson Meem Afzal said that the US President Donald Trump has finally realised that his mediation offer in Kashmir issue was a mistake.

New Delhi: US President Donald Trump made it clear on Monday that his offer of mediation on Kashmir is not on the table anymore, a top Indian diplomat said. Commenting on the same, Congress spokesperson, Meem Afzal said that Trump realised his mistake and withdrew his offer.

"Trump's offer of mediation raised questions on our Prime Minister's intentions too. Now he realised that his offer was a mistake. It is not like a U-turn but more of a realisation," said Afzal.

On July 22, during his joint media appearance with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan at the White House, President Trump stunned India by saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought his mediation/arbitration on the Kashmir issue.
