Congress Demands Clarification on Potential Third-Party Mediation in Kashmir

The Congress party has formally called upon the Indian government to clarify its position regarding third-party mediation in the ongoing Kashmir issue, warning that such involvement could contravene the Simla Agreement.

This request follows statements from US President Donald Trump, claiming he has played a role in intervening in the matter. AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal highlighted the need for a parliamentary debate, signaling potential shifts in India's foreign policy.

The urgency of the situation has been underscored by recent military escalations between India and Pakistan, sparking demands for a special parliamentary session to ensure compliance with established agreements and to reinforce the battle against terrorism.
