high-time India tells us president
Donald Trump and the rest of the world
that Kashmir is not a bilateral issue
and India has neither any need nor any
obligation to talk to Pakistan over
Kashmir pointless to treat Pakistan the
nuclear and jihadi terror cartel as a
normal state with whom one can hold
talks it is nothing but a security
threat to the entire world boom

hello hello and welcome to another
edition of the schaumschau my show thank
you very much for joining me today
thank you very much for watching I
appreciate you so Donald Trump met
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan for
a meeting in Washington DC recently
where they talked about a bunch of
different things but what are the things
that they talked about really stood out
and that was that he said that Indian
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressly
asked Donald Trump to act as a mediator
between India and Pakistan for solving
the Kashmir issue I was with was with
Prime Minister Modi two weeks ago and he
actually said would you like to be a
mediator or arbitrator I said where said
Kashmir because this be going on for
many many years I was surprised at how
long I think they'd like to see it
resolved and I think we'd like to see it
resolved that if I could help I would
love to be and what was funny was that
he said that he had no idea how long the
conflict had been going on for which is
funny because it kind of gives you an
idea of how little he knows about the
situation but it's a very significant
thing for Trump to say because India has
always maintained that the issue of
Kashmir can only be discussed between
India and Pakistan is a bilateral issue
and there is no third party that has
ever needed to mediate between the two
parties this is a matter between India
and Pakistan only so for Modi to say
that to trump is really going away from
a stand that India has had for a very
long time
but at this point there's a general
consensus that what Trump said was not
really true that Modi didn't really say
that to him and the reason for that is
that even before the Indian government
could even respond the White House when
it was asked that this conversation
actually took place between Modi and
Trump the White House actually refused
to confirm that such a conversation
actually took place between Modi and
Trump which is funny because the White
House which is supposed to have Trump's
back on these issues refused to back him
up that's why even before India reacted
the Council on Foreign Relations a
nonpartisan think tank said that India
had always believed that the conflict
over the dispute
region of Kashmir must be decided by
India and Pakistan alone so it makes no
sense that Modi had personally requested
us mediation and that was not the only
weird thing that Trump said during the
meeting during that meeting Trump also
said that he could have won the
Afghanistan war in a week but he didn't
want to kill 10 million people what what
the hell does that even mean and again
to provide more proof as to why I don't
think Trump knows what he's talking
about and why what Trump said was not
correct was that remember when he
tweeted last week Trump said that Hafiz
Saeed the mastermind of the Mumbai
attacks had been arrested after a
10-year search when the guy had been
freely living in Pakistan freely roaming
around in Pakistan and had even formed a
political party which ran for elections
in the Pakistani national elections so
it really becomes quite clear that Trump
doesn't really know what the hell he's
talking about
when it comes to South Asia so obviously
soon after that the Ministry of External
Affairs of India came out and
categorically denied that Modi ever said
so to Trump MEA representative Ravi
Kumar said that we have seen potus's
remarks to the press that he is ready to
mediate if requested by India and
Pakistan on the Kashmiri issue however
no such request has been made by PM
Narendra Modi to the United States
president it has been India's consistent
position that all outstanding issues
with Pakistan are discussed only
bilaterally any engagement with Pakistan
would require an end to cross-border
terrorism the Shimla agreement and the
Lahore declaration provide the basis to
resolve all issues between India and
Pakistan bilaterally India's foreign
minister dr. Jay Shankar also
categorically denied that Modi had ever
said anything like this to Donald Trump
I would like to categorically assure the
house that no such request has been made
by the Prime Minister
was made by the Prime Minister
it has always been India's position that
no third party ever should interfere in
the Kashmir issue which is a bilateral
issue between India and Pakistan that
has always been India's position not
even the UN should interfere in fact
Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs
Committee eliot engel and representative
brad sherman spoke with india's
ambassador to the united states her
shrink la on Monday to apologize for
Donald Trump's claim that he was asked
by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to
mediate on the Kashmir issue
Brad Sherman said everyone who knows
anything about foreign policy in South
Asia knows that India consistently
opposes third party mediation regarding
Kashmir
everyone knows that the Indian Prime
Minister Narendra Modi would never
suggest such a thing Trump's statement
is amateurish and delusional and
embarrassing Foreign Affairs chairman
eliot engel also pushed back against
Trump's suggestion to mediate the
conflict on Monday telling Schindler in
a phone call that the US would
effectively stay out of the disagreement
angle also told shrink ler that he
believed Pakistan must first take
concrete and irreversible steps to
dismantle the terrorist infrastructure
on Pakistan soil and while we're talking
about India and Pakistan and Kashmir and
it being a bilateral issue I firmly
believe that India needs to stop calling
Kashmir a bilateral issue Kashmir is not
a bilateral issue cash wheel is an
integral and permanent part of India so
there's nothing bilateral there it's an
internal issue for India to solve there
is no need to discuss anything with
Pakistan Pakistan has only provided to
this situation for Wars all for that
they have lost and cross-border
terrorism in Kashmir which has caused
innocent lives RTT kissing a journalist
said it best
she said the Indian political leadership
and bureaucracy need to stop calling
Kashmir a bilateral issue between India
and Pakistan
it is not a bilateral issue Pakistan has
no legitimate right over Kashmir it has
no locus standi as a party there is no
legal or moral dispute over Kashmir the
only issue here is Pakistan's cross
terrorism ever since it lost four wars
with India to invade Kashmir Pakistan is
an invader intruder aggressor and a
terror state high time India tells us
President Donald Trump and the rest of
the world that Kashmir is not a
bilateral issue and India has neither
any need nor any obligation to talk to
Pakistan over Kashmir pointless to treat
Pakistan the nuclear and jihadi terror
cartel as a normal state with whom one
can hold talks it is nothing but a
security threat to the entire world
roasted and on top of that this is an
old habit of Trump Trump likes to say
that he knows everything about
everything he was doing the same thing
in 2015 when he started running for the
elections as well remember when he said
that he's gonna build a wall and Mexico
is gonna pay for the wall and when
people asked him how's Mexico gonna pay
for the wall and he said oh they will
you'll see see the whole thing with
Trump is that he considers himself some
kind of a master negotiator he thinks
that he can negotiate everything since
he's president he wants to negotiate
brexit he wants to negotiate with Iran
he wants to negotiate with North Korea
and even though Modi didn't ask him he
wants to now negotiate between India and
Pakistan for Kashmir so what does India
do after Trump's statement while India
obviously has come out and categorically
denied that Prime Minister Narendra Modi
said anything like that to trump ever
but secondly I think it presents India
with an opportunity India needs to play
the game with Trump the negotiation game
the thing is Trump has come out and said
that he wants to negotiate Nikesh mean
is not something that can be negotiated
with but India's relationship with
America is something that can definitely
be negotiated better so how does India
gain the upper hand with respect to
Pakistan when it comes to its
relationship with the United States well
there's a bunch of different ways but in
my opinion one important way is to
develop a better defense relationship so
India continues to have a very strong
relationship in terms of defense with
Russia which obviously pisses off the
United States and makes the United
States think
that India is not an ally that can be
trusted only recently India proceeded to
give Russia close to 9 billion US
dollars worth of arms deals for the s400
and second akula-class submarine so
developing a better defense partnership
with the United States and buying more
United States military equipment will
help the United States in seeing India
as a reliable partner a partner that
they can trust and they would be less
and less inclined to support or to trust
the Pakistani jihadi machinery the
second thing that India can do with
respect to the United States is work out
a better trade agreement and better
trade arrangements with the United
States where India is able to take some
of the business that United States gives
to China this is a win-win for both
parties India will end up getting more
prisoners more work for its people and
the United States will get to work with
a country that follows the law and that
does not steal intellectual property of
American companies so again it's a
win-win for both parties
look Trump made a false statement but in
that statement he also made it clear
that he wants to play ball that he wants
to negotiate that India if it truly
desires it can develop a better
strategic relationship with the United
States because Trump is willing to
negotiate on that front now India in my
opinion needs to make it absolutely
crystal clear that Kashmir is an
internal issue India doesn't need to
talk to Pakistan and India doesn't need
to talk to the United States India
doesn't need to talk to anyone when it
comes to the Kashmir issue Kashmir issue
is an internal matter for India but when
it comes to diplomacy when it comes to
better relations with the United States
I think India can gain a lot through
developing better business relations to
developing better military strategic
relations India can develop better
relationships with the United States
because the president has made it clear
that he wants to negotiate now it's
going to be very interesting to see what
Prime Minister Narendra Modi does and I
want to know from you guys as well what
do you think is a good step for India to
take how do you think India can
negotiate a better relationship with the
United States let me know in the comment
section down below as well and also I
want to know from you do you think that
it's
high time that India stopped calling
Kashmiri bilateral issue India needs to
call Kashmir an internal issue because
Kashmir is an integral part of India let
