Lmao u should really read what u r saying here. Let it sink in...and u will see that it is YOU(India/Indians) who need to have self respect.It's interesting to see the change in Pakistanis' views of Trump after Imran Khan's visit. Are you guys really this fickle that a simple meeting of statesmen is all it takes to win you over?
I mean Trump says a lot of things. The idea of him acting as a mediator is laughable at best. The amount of understanding he has of the Kashmir conflict or of either of our cultures is next to nothing.
GoI has already released a statement denying this absurd claim by Donald and that's all they need do.
Have some self-respect, please.
Stop being the White man's slave.

Mumbai: Confusion between `mediate' and 'meditate' might have led US President Donald Trump to believe that India wanted him to intervene in the Kashmir issue, senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid quipped on Thursday.
India has denied Trump's claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi requested him to mediate between India and Pakistan for resolving the Kashmir issue. Khurshid was speaking at the launch of his book "Visible Muslim, Invisible Citizen: Understanding Islam in Indian Democracy" here.
Referring to the controversy, the former external affairs minister said in a lighter vein, "May be prime minister Modi wanted to say why don't you meditate for Yoga, and he thought Modi was asking to mediate.
"It was a problem of communication. But diplomacy is all about communication and if you are not able to communicate properly, what kind of diplomacy you are having," he added.
The Congress leader praised external affairs minister S Jaishankar, citing his track record as a diplomat. "He has a very outstanding record and we have such a bright foreign minister, who has left remarkable legacy behind him (as foreign secretary). But I can say only sorry for him," Khurshid added.
During an interaction which followed the book release, Khurshid fielded questions about what it means to be Muslim in contemporary India.
"Muslims are gradually disappearing from the public discourse and we need to have a deep understanding why it is happening," he said. However, floating a party specially for Muslims won't help, he said.
"They can take shelter in liberal parties, but liberal parties also need to prove that they are actually liberal," the Congress leader added. Religious and political leaders should join hands to offer a modern interpretation of Islam, as done by poet Allama Iqbal in the past, Khurshid said.
Islam is a very flexible religion and its flexibility allows its followers to do anything if their intentions are pure, Khurshid opined.
He also stated that there are a lot of non-Muslims "who have always stood behind Muslims and have supported them", and majority of Hindus and Muslims believe in the Constitution.

Even if 'meditate' was used why did Modi reply with 'Kashmir' when asked where. Did Modi want Trump to meditate in Kashmir? And since we have had Trump's aide state "the President does not lie' suggesting that White House is holding it's ground as to what was said.

Anyone with half a brain would understand that Trump is either making this up or he misunderstood something somewhere.
A country which is not even giving bilateral talks on Kashmir to Pakistan, why would it seek third party engagement ? It makes no sense whatsoever. I am sure even some intelligent Pakistanis understand this, but don't expect most members on this forum to understand or they will pretend not to understand.
In any case, how does it matter what Trump says ? India has now officially denied that no such 3rd party engagement is sought. That ends it.

We understand that, but if your former minister is saying it now, it gives more value to that narrative, as he understand the internal workings and tricks.Khursid has copied these lines from a very good satire doing the round in social media these days. It is a classic. I am searching it and will post if come across it again.
