Calling Kashmir a religious issue, Trump reiterates offer of mediation

Washington, Ta. 21.August, Wednesday 2019

US President Donald Trump has once again created controversy by offering to mediate between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir issue.

Trump has told Hindu-Muslim anger over Kashmir issue, saying he will raise the issue during PMG meeting with PM Modi in France this weekend.

Earlier, Trump had offered to mediate on the Kashmir issue, which India rejected, saying that the Kashmir issue was a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan. Then the White House also rejected Trump's statement.

Trump said, "Kashmir is a very confusing issue. Where there are issues for Hindus and Muslims too, I will not say that there is a lot of goodwill between the two communities. I will do whatever is possible to mediate."
