Congress Demands Clarification on Potential Third-Party Mediation in Kashmir

The Congress has demanded the Indian government clarify its stance on third-party mediation in the Kashmir dispute, alleging possible violations of the Simla Agreement. The call comes amidst US President Trump's claims of intervention and recent military escalations between India and Pakistan. Urgent parliamentary discussions are requested to address these concerns.

The Congress party has formally called upon the Indian government to clarify its position regarding third-party mediation in the ongoing Kashmir issue, warning that such involvement could contravene the Simla Agreement.

This request follows statements from US President Donald Trump, claiming he has played a role in intervening in the matter. AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal highlighted the need for a parliamentary debate, signaling potential shifts in India's foreign policy.

The urgency of the situation has been underscored by recent military escalations between India and Pakistan, sparking demands for a special parliamentary session to ensure compliance with established agreements and to reinforce the battle against terrorism.
