As you are aware, the outstanding matter is the vacation of illegally occupied Indian territory by Pakistan,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nJaiswal was responding to a question on Trump\u2019s offer.<br \/>\nOn speculation on nuclear war by Trump, Jaiswal said the military action was entirely in the conventional domain.<br \/>\n\u201cThere were some reports that Pakistan\u2019s National Command Authority will meet on May 10. But this was later denied by them. Pakistan foreign minister has himself denied the nuclear angle on record,\u201d Jaiswal said.<br \/>\n\u201cAs you know, India has a firm stance that it will not give in to nuclear blackmail or allow cross-border terrorism to be conducted invoking it,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cIn conversations with various countries, we also cautioned that their subscribing to such scenarios could hurt them in their own region,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nJaiswal said India will keep Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures support for cross-border terrorism.<br \/>\nPakistan nurtured terrorism on an industrial scale, he said.<br \/>\nTerrorist infrastructure that India destroyed under Operation Sindoor were responsible not only for the deaths of Indians but of many other innocents around world, he said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29069\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29069\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-29069\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mea-1-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"Kashmir Issue Is Bilateral Between India And Pakistan: MEA\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mea-1-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mea-1-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mea-1-549x376.jpg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mea-1-409x280.jpg 409w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mea-1-233x159.jpg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mea-1-224x153.jpg 224w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mea-1-349x239.jpg 349w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mea-1-100x68.jpg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mea-1-360x246.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mea-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29069\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kashmir Issue Is Bilateral Between India And Pakistan: MEA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI, May 13: India on Tuesday said its long-standing position on Kashmir has been that it is a bilateral issue between New Delhi and Islamabad and there is no change of this stand.
