Statement regarding Nobel Peace Prize
President Trump declared himself deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping every war. He has made this comment at a time when in the past too he has been expressing his claim for the Nobel Prize in public forums. However, he has not received this honor yet.
India’s clear stand
The Indian government has repeatedly rejected these claims of Trump. India says that the ceasefire between India and Pakistan was not the result of any external mediation. According to India, after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the Indian Army had taken action against the terrorist bases present in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor. After this, on May 10, 2025, the DGMO of Pakistan contacted the Indian DGMO and requested for a ceasefire, which was implemented by both the countries with mutual consent.
Denial of external interference in bilateral matters
India has reiterated that there has been no role for the mediation of any third country in its internal and bilateral matters. The government’s stand is clear that talks and decisions between India and Pakistan take place only between the two countries.
