Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh denies any involvement in halting India-Pakistan military operations through a third party.
India Reiterates Bilateral Stance on India-Pakistan Conflict Resolution
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh asserted during the Hyderabad Liberation Day celebrations on September 17 that India's decision to suspend 'Operation Sindoor' was not influenced by any third-party intervention. This statement echoes Prime Minister Narendra Modi's position that issues with Pakistan are strictly bilateral.
Singh's stance comes in response to claims of American involvement in defusing Indo-Pakistani tensions, particularly former U.S. President Donald Trump's assertions about the United States expressing itself regarding mediation in the conflict. However, Indian authorities have consistently denied accepting any mediation.
The Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan had previously clarified India's rejection of any third-party involvement in its military operations against terrorists. Singh emphasized that the pause in 'Operation Sindoor' was a strategic decision by India, not influenced by external pressures.
This stance aligns with India's long-standing policy on Kashmir and cross-border terrorism. Singh reiterated that India will not accept outside interference, a position that Modi has consistently maintained.
The event was reported by PTI, with The Hindu also reporting on Singh's statement regarding the India-Pakistan conflict resolution. The Hyderabad Liberation Day celebrations commemorate the integration of Hyderabad into India following a military action against the Nizam's rule.
Singh stated, "Some claim to have stopped the Indo-Pak conflict. Nobody did it," in response to recent claims, including those from former US President Donald Trump. This assertion underscores India's position that it will handle its conflicts with Pakistan without external intervention.
The stance on the India-Pakistan conflict resolution by Modi and Singh is a continuation of India's position that issues with Pakistan are strictly bilateral. This reiteration of India's stance on issues with Pakistan serves to reinforce India's sovereignty and its commitment to resolving conflicts on its own terms.
