India has categorically denied President Trump's claims of mediating a ceasefire with Pakistan, asserting that all matters regarding Jammu and Kashmir must be addressed bilaterally.
The ceasefire, reached on May 12, followed a four-day military conflict initiated by India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted nine terror sites in Pakistan.
Indian officials have dismissed suggestions that U.S. trade relations influenced the truce, despite Trump's assertions that he used trade as leverage to broker peace.
The conflict escalated after India conducted precision strikes on May 7, leading to a significant military engagement across the border. Confirmation of the ceasefire came after a phone call between the Director Generals of Military Operations from both countries.
India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri briefed a parliamentary committee on the situation, emphasizing the need for bilateral discussions without third-party involvement. India's stance remains clear: it will not accept external mediation in its relations with Pakistan.
