Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told US President Donald Trump that Delhi will never accept third-party mediation with Pakistan on the issue of Kashmir, India's senior-most diplomat said. Foreign secretary Vikram Misri said that Modi "strongly" conveyed India's long-held stand to Trump during a phone call between the two leaders on Tuesday.

Bharatiya Janata Party leaders attacked Congress after Narendra Modi spoke with Donald Trump about Operation Sindoor. Modi clarified that the operation was paused at Pakistan's request, not due to US mediation.

India has never asked for, and will never accept, third-party mediation to resolve the issue of Pakistan's illegal occupation of parts of Jammu and Kashmir - this was Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unequivocal message to US President Donald Trump.
