Trump during his maiden meeting with PM Imran on Monday had offered to mediate the decades-long Kashmir conflict saying he was asked by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to mediate on the issue, a claim which was promptly rejected by the government in New Delhi.
“Surprised by reaction of India to Pres Trump's offer of mediation to bring Pak & India to dialogue table for resolving Kashmir conflict which has held subcontinent hostage for 70 yrs,” the premier wrote on his official twitter handle.
“Generations of Kashmiris have suffered and are suffering daily and need conflict resolution,” he added.
