"Pakistan Requested Ceasefire": India Rejects China's May Truce Claim
New Delhi has rejected China's claims of mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan during the military conflict earlier this year. Sources in the Indian government assert that there was no third-party mediation in reaching a truce, as it was Pakistan that requested a ceasefire following Operation Sindoor.
The clarification came after China echoed US President Donald Trump's claims, with its foreign minister projecting Beijing as a peace negotiator between India and Pakistan during the May conflict.
"India's position on mediation has always been clear. There was no mediation that took place after Operation Sindoor. India has always maintained that there can be no third-party intervention. Pakistan requested India's DGMO for a ceasefire," sources told NDTV.
