He said, "President Trump is a unique individual who is very convinced about himself and his abilities...I would request put an end to this whole thing because we in our own sense are giving currency to his ideas and instead we should be very clear that this happened as a result of bilateral contacts between the two countries and as very clearly clarified by the Prime Minister and by others in the government that they all were in conversations, but this was a bilateral decision, a request from their side accepted by us because we felt that the very specific aims the military aims at that time of Operation Sindoor had been achieved"

00:00President Trump is a unique individual who is very convinced about himself and his abilities.
00:08Now, he has been saying what he has been saying, but we also know what we have had to say and what we believe.
00:16And we are very sanguine in our understanding that, look, India and Pakistan also have a direct hotline.
00:23And we also understand that the military action taken by India had devastating impact in Pakistan
00:32and that their abilities to withstand that was limited.
00:35And so why should they not have picked up the phone?
00:38These are obvious that the United States was in conversation with us, as were other countries.
00:44Obviously, that must have been the case.
00:46But, you know, this is not something that means in the exact terms of the words that he was using
00:52that I did it or this happened.
00:55It happened that you made the conversation, that you made the calls very good.
01:00But I think we should accept and now I would request put an end to this whole thing
01:05because we, in our own sense, are giving currency to his ideas.
01:09And instead, we should be very clear that this happened as a result of bilateral contacts
01:15between the two countries and as very clearly clarified by the Prime Minister and by others
01:22in the government that, you know, they all were in conversations.
01:28But this was a bilateral decision, a request from their side accepted by us
01:33because we felt that the very specific aims, the military aims at that time of Operation Sindhu
01:41had been achieved.
