India, US, and the Question of Trade Triumphing Over Terror

The Congress sought clarifications on India's stance regarding US mediation in Kashmir following President Trump's claim that his administration stopped a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. Concerns were raised about trade influences over diplomatic choices and unanswered questions regarding the recent conflict with Pakistan.

In a series of statements raising significant questions, the Congress party asked whether India had agreed to allow any third-party mediation on the Kashmir issue, following claims made by US President Donald Trump. Trump's assertion that he helped prevent a nuclear escalation between India and Pakistan has stirred intense political debate.

AICC spokesperson Supriya Shrinate demanded clarifications about alleged US interventions, questioning whether economic threats had influenced Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decisions regarding the ceasefire. Trump claimed that trade incentives could bring lasting peace to the region, a move that Congress views with skepticism.

With additional concerns about ongoing security issues within India, Congress leaders requested clarity from the government on actions against terrorist elements and ongoing negotiations with Pakistan. They further criticized potential compromises on sovereignty in light of alleged foreign interference by the US.
