Pak PM wants Trump to mediate in Kashmir |
As heavy shelling and military exchanges on the Line of Control continue, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday pushed the “mediation” button yet again. Criticising India for using “cluster munitions”, Khan tweeted: “President Trump offered to mediate on Kashmir. This is the time to do so as the situation deteriorates there and along the LoC with new aggressive actions being taken by Indian occupation forces. This has the potential to blow up into a regional crisis.” This came after some heavy exchange of fire over the past few days. The LoC lit up a few days after the Khan-Trump meeting in Washington, where Trump offered to mediate between India and Pakistan, inadvertently linking this with the expectation that Pakistan should “extricate” the US from Afghanistan. Within a few days, the LoC witnessed heavy firing and infiltration attempts by Pakistani teams. India read this as attempts by Pakistan to create a crisis that would provoke an Indian military response.
