THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, May 12: Congress Party on Monday urged the Centre to clarify whether it is open to third-party mediation on the Kashmir issue, warning that such as stance could potentially violate the Simla Agreement.
Congress party pointed to US President Donald Trump’s daily statements, claiming that he was intervening in the matter, and said a clarification from the union government on the matter was inevitable.
“Was the Simla Agreement, which rejects any third-party involvement in the Kashmir issue between India and Pakistan, violated? Trump has been making statements daily, claiming that he has intervened in the matter. We need the government’s clarification,” Venugopal said.
“The Congress party has asked the Prime Minister of India to urgently convene Parliament to discuss these issues. This is not to blame anyone or put them on trial,” He said
