Congress MP Manish Tewari on Sunday emphasised the need to "educate" US President Donald Trump after the latter offered to mediate between India and Pakistan to resolve the Kashmir issue, commenting that the dispute isn't a "biblical 1000-year-old conflict".
Someone in the US establishment needs to seriously educate their President @POTUS @realDonaldTrump that Kashmir is not a biblical 1000 year old conflict.

Donald Trump on Saturday claimed that India and Pakistan's ceasefire understanding came after US-mediated talks. India, however, said it was Pakistan's DGMO who called his Indian counterpart for talks, which led to the cessation of hostilities.
Congress MP Jairam Ramesh also questioned the US claim of mediation. "The Indian National Congress believes that the mention of a ‘neutral forum’ for dialogue between India and Pakistan by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio raises several questions - have we abandoned the Shimla Agreement? Have we opened the door for third-party mediation? The Indian National Congress would like to ask whether diplomatic channels are being reopened between India and Pakistan. What commitments have we sought from Pakistan, and what have we received?" he wrote on X, seeking a response from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
India has time and again rejected any third-party intervention on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir and has unequivocally expressed that the region is an integral part of India.
