Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Wednesday claimed US President Donald Trump had volunteered to mediate in the military conflict between India and Pakistan but New Delhi outrightly rejected any third-party intervention.
At a press conference, the president of the Republican Party of India vacillated between praising the opposition for standing with the government during the standoff and criticising them for politicising the issue of the two neighbours reaching an understanding to stop all military actions.
“The opposition must continue to stand united with the government and not question its stance,” he said. PTI
