Congress MP Shashi Tharoor Defends PM Modi On US President Trump’s Kashmir Mediation Claim
Refuting United States (US) President Donald Trump's claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked him for mediation on Kashmir, Senior Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor blasted Trump for his ‘ignorance’ on the issue.
"I honestly don't think Trump has the slightest idea of what he's talking about," Tharoor said in a tweet on Monday (22 July).
The Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram added that Trump “has either not been briefed or not understood what Modi was saying or what India's position is on 3rd-party mediation,"
I honestly don't think Trump has the slightest idea of what he's talking about. He has either not been briefed or not understood what Modi was saying or what India's position is on 3rd-party mediation. That said, MEA should clarify that Delhi has never sought his intercession. https://t.co/DxRpNu6vw2

Tharoor's comments stand in absolute disconnect with those of erstwhile Congress chief Rahul Gandhi.
Gandhi tried to corner the Government on the issue by asserting, "PM must tell the nation what transpired in the meeting between him and POTUS."
"If true, PM Modi has betrayed India's interests & 1972 Shimla Agreement,” he added.
President Trump says PM Modi asked him to mediate between India & Pakistan on Kashmir!
If true, PM Modi has betrayed India’s interests & 1972 Shimla Agreement.
A weak Foreign Ministry denial won’t do. PM must tell the nation what transpired in the meeting between him & @POTUS

Yesterday (23 July), raking up the issue, the Congress party led by senior politician Ghulam Nabi Azad refused to participate in the Parliamentary proceedings and carried out a walkout from the Rajya Sabha
Both sides seem to be trying to bury this issue. But when I said - there is no smoke without fire. What I meant was - maybe modi did not use the same sentence(Given how Trump summarized NM's details on India's aid to Afghan - as a donation of library). But given Afghanistan issue is being discussed between all parties except India - with primacy given to Pakistan viewpoint. You can bet - there is Kashmir being discussed or being forced to discussed behind curtains. We should be keenly to watch all sly track thoo meetings and utterances by our old dear friend russia and new 100% organic all natural ally US.What’re the new developments on this issue?
Only thing is Kudlow(not Kushner) saying that he has no knowledge of the subject, but only objected to Trump being called a liar by the reporter.
These statements from shampoo boy were from morning, by evening he flipped back to being congi..what is tharoor smoking now!

Logistics is not a big deal, we need a few companies of SF operators rotated out in a C-17 or two. They are more than enough to act as force multipliers in the short term. We could also ship 4-5 Tejas, LCH, Rudra as nice place for target practice on the talibs. The unwahsed abdul can't tell what hit em anyways.And how do you propose we take care of our logistics should we take your advice and deploy into Afghanistan?
NATO has been trying that since 2001. Fair to say that it hasn't really worked out so far.I speak more of military sales of equipment as well, Afghan forces needs to propped up
So it means the whole niazi trump meeting was a promotional event, to hard sell Taliban talks without involving afghan govt.
Gist : "We don't approve US talks with Taliban; We are capable of representing ourselves. The Taliban does not represent us."
Now I see why Murica is so frustrated.
And then when talibs start doing big IED action in Kashmir when ever they are targeted in Afghanistan, what do we do?Logistics is not a big deal, we need a few companies of SF operators rotated out in a C-17 or two.

I speak more of military sales of equipment as well, Afghan forces needs to propped up. Easy export access for Tejas MK-1/ 1A, Arjun, Dhruv, LCH, Ghatak rifles, Pinaka, Akash SAM etc.
He is not worth my time. Because of Hindus (If he is) like him, people don't take other Hindus seriously.How about that Kerala folk Rahul Eshwar? That was a true coup in RW world. He flipped on Sabrilmala.
India can deal with this scenario, India has friendly relations with Iran, China, Russia and central Asian countries.NATO has been trying that since 2001. Fair to say that it hasn't really worked out so far.
Well the Talibs first have to escape Afghan for that. Besides, LOC is secure enough to thwart the Talibs from miles away. Besides the local support structure in Kashmir is already under duress and will collapse to a bare minimum with a few more months.And then when talibs start doing big IED action in Kashmir when ever they are targeted in Afghanistan, what do we do?
Sure, agreed. Since we are discussing a “what if” scenario, include my “what if” into your scenario.Well the Talibs first have to escape Afghan for that. Besides, LOC is secure enough to thwart the Talibs from miles away. Besides the local support structure in Kashmir is already under duress and will collapse to a bare minimum with a few more months.
Our boys would help in wrapping this up quickly, no one has more experience in this.
USA never had any genuine intention towards relationship with India. So, nothing to loseFirst time in US history that two Pakistani generals were leading the talks with the American President. Imran Khan was an addendum during these conversations. Real talks were with the generals. They were the one who will deliver US withdrawal from Afghanistan without America loosing its honour as it happened in Vietnam and elsewhere.
The generals got most likely all economic and military aid restored to Pakistan and persuaded Trump to throw India under the bus.
The forgoing will leave a permanent scar on Indo-US ties.
