India-Pakistan Ceasefire: Jaishankar Clarifies Trump’s Role, Highlights Direct Negotiations

Must Read

There has been lots of criticism of India’s external minister Jaishankar’s statements recently on Social media. There has also been criticism of Indian Prime Minister Modi as well after Trump claimed that he mediated and stopped the escalating war between India and Pakistan. 

Trump is on a claiming spree these days and is claiming that he is next to God and all the peace in the world is maintained because of him. 

It is speculated that he is in greed of getting a Noble Prize. 

However, in a recent interview given to Nederlandse Omroep Stichting, the Netherlands’ public broadcasting organization, India’s External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, addressed all the speculation regarding U.S. President Donald Trump’s unsolicited involvement in negotiating a ceasefire during the war between India and Pakistan, highlighting the true dynamics behind the ceasefire negotiations and what went behind. . 

Jaishankar dismissed several claims of external mediation by Trump, mentioning that the ceasefire was in fact a direct result of talks between the Army heads of New Delhi and Islamabad.

The interviewer enquired whether Donald Trump has actually played a role in brokering a ceasefire between two countries. 

Jaishankar clarified, with a hint of amusement, that, “The U.S. was in the United States. The Pakistani army sent a message that they were ready to stop firing.” 

His response highlighted the fact that the initiative for the ceasefire came directly from Pakistan, not through third-party intervention as was claimed by Trump mostly. 

Jaishankar further elaborated, giving credits to other countries that while they called and expressed their concern to both India and Pakistan during the period of the short term war through phone calls, the ceasefire agreement was exclusively negotiated only between the two nations and there was no third party involved.  

“We made one thing very clear to everybody who spoke to us: if Pakistanis want to stop fighting, they need to tell us,” Jaishankar stated firmly in the interview. 

His crisp and clear stance reflected India’s insistence on direct communication, bypassing intermediaries to ensure clarity, accountability and no room for confusion.

The minister further said that India demanded direct explicit communication from Pakistan’s military leadership. 

He says, “We need to hear it from them. Their general has to call up our general and say this. And that is what happened,” 

Jaishankar revealed the main points of the conversation they were expecting from the enemy country, highlighting the straightforward, military-to-military dialogue rather than going around and around through other countries and visiting international organizations,which in the end does nothing rather increase tensions between countries.

In the end he said it was the direct communication and dialogue between the countries that sealed the ceasefire.

This news puts an end to rumors that outside forces, like the US, played a key role in easing tensions. Jaishankar’s story makes it clear that India would rather work with Pakistan one-on-one, especially when it comes to security and resolving conflicts. The ceasefire, which has been in effect since it was announced, is a big step forward in the relationship between India and Pakistan, which is often troubled by border skirmishes and diplomatic problems.

The minister’s comments also show how the current administration handles foreign policy in general: assertively, independently, and through direct communication to solve regional problems. Jaishankar not only cleared up misunderstandings regarding foreign mediation by explaining how the ceasefire would work, but he also underlined India’s commitment to resolving its own neighboring conflicts.

The international community is keeping a tight eye on the ceasefire, hoping that the direct line of communication between New Delhi and Islamabad will lead to more stability in the area. Jaishankar’s honest comments remind us that the genuine talks between India and Pakistan place within the two capitals, not through other people.
