India slams US's offer to help de-escalate tension between Indo-Pak

New York, Apr 4 (IBNS): India on Tuesday made it clear that the country's issue with neighbouring Pakistan has to be solved by bilateral engagement without the interference of any third party.

The statement was made by the Indian External Affairs Ministery after United States offered  to play a role in de-escalating tension between India and Pakistan, said reports.

External affairs ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay said: "The government's position for bilateral redressal of all India-Pakistan issues in an environment free of terror and violence hasn't changed."

"We of course expect the international community and organisations to enforce international mechanisms and mandates concerning terrorism emanating from Pakistan, which continues to be the single biggest threat to peace and stability in our region and beyond," he said. 

This came after US Ambassador to the United Nations Nicky Haley  during a press conference said, "It's absolutely right that this administration is concerned about the relationship between India and Pakistan and very much wants to see how we de-escalate any sort of conflict going forward."

Haley, a senior Indian-American member of the Trump Cabinet.
