Public sentiment is generally critical of Pakistan's motives and skeptical of Trump's mediation claims, with strong support for India's bilateral stance and national leadership. Many commenters express pride in India's self-reliance and dismiss external interference, along with criticisms of opposition figures.

&gt;Pakistan on Monday admitted that India has been stating disputes between the two countries are bilateral. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said, “India has categorically been stating it's bilateral matter.”

&gt;...

&gt;Recalling events from May, Dar added, “So incidentally when the ceasefire offer came through secretary Rubio to me on 10th of May around 8:17 in the morning I was told that there would be very soon dialogue between you and India at an independent place. When we met 25th of July, a bilateral meeting myself with secretary Rubio in Washington, I asked him what happened to those dialogue. He says India says that it is a bilateral issue. We don’t, so we are not begging for anything.”

&gt;...

&gt;This is the first time Pakistan has publicly aligned with India’s stance that disputes with Islamabad are strictly bilateral, ruling out any outside mediation. The statement directly contradicts repeated assertions by US President Donald Trump, who has claimed he played a decisive role in easing tensions between the two countries after the Pahalgam terror attack, and the events that followed the deadly massacre of April 22.

The number of times these guys have changed their statements is comical. Stick to one.

DontKillUncleBen

India has always rejected any third-party mediation for resolving conflict with Pak. This has been their policy for *decades*. They consider it strictly a bilateral issue. 

Any suggestion that Trump helped stop the conflict last May is simply preposterous.

zxasdfx

Daily Trump administration and their claims are getting busted like bubbles

Efficient_Fly_9232

Good. Now Trump can claim that he stopped five wars instead of six.

yaaro_obba_

Then what was the noble prize for ? Checking if the pak-US telephone lines are intact or not ?

Deep_Chart_1028

After Drill baby Drill....Trump found piss instead of oil in pakistan...so this is the result i guess

AlgebraNation

I can't decide who is the bigger bitch in US Pak relationship. Pakistan hid Osama Bin Laden yet US continue to support them. US violated sovereignity of Pakistan multiple times, including operation that killed Osama Bin Laden, yet they continue to suck US dick.

Not surprised third party involvement is always sensitive in conflicts like this

This statement looks like a ploy to get something from Trump for upholding the lie.

Looks like pak needs a renewal of loan from the us

Even Pakistan is exposing Trump’s lies.

I think the Trump administration did play some role in carrying messages between the two countries, or at least in counselling Pakistan in agreeing to a ceasefire instead of escalating the conflict further into an all-out war.

But Trump and Marco Rubio's claims were never going anywhere. Rubio had announced after the ceasefire that India and Pakistan would start talks on a 'broad range of issues' in a 'neutral country'. I can say with certainty that this was never discussed with India; no Indian government would ever entertain anything like this.

Year: 2125
"Pak minister refused the previous claim of third party role in truce"
Get over with it guys!

I have a feeling BJP nudged him to make this statement

sentrist

Glad I didn't watch it. Fuck BCCI and BJP.

_NowiCanSeeYouBeYou_

F@ck BCCI. Summarizing my entire sentiment.

India seems to be in a tough spot geopolitically. The only country that openly supported them in their spat with Pakistan was Israel, and their entire neighborhood is growing closer and closer to China and now one of their better friends in Iran is also in danger.

&gt;Asked earlier what he wanted to achieve from meeting Munir, Trump told reporters: "Well, I stopped a war ... I love Pakistan. I think Modi is a fantastic man. I spoke to him last night. We're going to make a trade deal with Modi of India."But I stopped the war between Pakistan and India. This man was extremely influential in stopping it from the Pakistan side, Modi from the India side and others," he said. "They were going at it - and they're both nuclear countries. I got it stopped."

This guy really want that Nobel Peace prize ...

Claiming to help stopped 2 countries from going to war (after they already went to war), and yet at the same time salivating at the idea of going to war with Iran. Also, why cozy up to Pakistan when they are already best friend with China ?

ImperiumRome

I'm sure Donald Trump carefully studied the long history of relations between India and Pakistan to understand how to best conduct this negotiation. We are very lucky to have literally the best negotiator on the planet being the president of the US.  Many people are saying that Trump probably deserves Time Person Of The Year and Nobel Peace prize for how hard he is working to bring peace in the world.  

Trump is halfway to bringing peace in the Middle East, so why not peace between Pakistan and India?

I think there are other factors.

&gt;HOLY FUCK!

&gt;As expected, Pakistan is allowing Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) of United States Air Force to spy on Iran. It's a specialised aircraft to enhance communication, situational awareness and surveillance on strategic assets.
