ISLAMABAD:

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi criticised India for rejecting US President Donald Trump's offer to mediate on the Kashmir issue, calling the refusal evidence of New Delhi's "warlike mindset."

In a statement marking Kashmir Martyrs' Day, Naqvi said the offer represented a missed opportunity for peaceful dialogue. "India's rejection exposed its unwillingness to resolve disputes through diplomatic means," he stated.

Naqvi paid tribute to the 22 Kashmiris martyred on July 13, 1931, during a peaceful protest against the Dogra regime. He described the event as a symbol of "unyielding resistance".
