Sachin Pilot Urges Special Parliament Session After Donald Trump Announces India Pakistan Ceasefire, Says, ‘This Is an Attempt To Internationalise Kashmir Issue’ (Watch Video)

Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Saturday praised the Indian armed forces for their unmatched bravery amid rapidly changing developments over the past 24 hours. Reacting to the surprise ceasefire announcement made by U.S. President Donald Trump, Pilot said this marked the first time such a declaration had come directly from the U.S. President, raising concerns about efforts to internationalise the Kashmir issue. “The Indian armed forces have once again proven that they are second to none,” Pilot stated. “But the way events have unfolded in the last 24 hours is noteworthy. We were taken aback when President Trump announced the ceasefire on social media. This is the first time such an announcement has been made by a U.S. President, and the language used is worth paying attention to.” Pilot warned that this move could be seen as an attempt to bring international attention to Kashmir,  something India has traditionally opposed. He reiterated the Congress party’s long-standing demand for a special session of Parliament to reaffirm India's stance on Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). “The Congress has been demanding that we call a special session of Parliament and reassert the 1994 resolution passed unanimously by all parties, which declared PoJK an integral part of India and committed to taking it back,” he added. India Confirms Ceasefire Deal With Pakistan; Both Countries Reach Understanding to Stop Firing and Military Action, Says S Jaishankar.
