Narendra Modi speaks to Donald Trump, flags 'extreme rhetoric by regional leaders'

[The Viper]

The Prime Minister spoke to U.S. President Donald Trump over phone, according to a PMO statement.

Encouraging anti-India violence will not ensure regional peace, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told U.S. President Donald Trump in a telephone conversation on Monday. The conversation is the first direct communication between the two leaders since India ended Jammu and Kashmir’s special status on August 5.

“In the context of the regional situation, the Prime Minister stated that extreme rhetoric and incitement to anti-India violence by certain leaders in the region was not conducive to peace,” the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on the conversation, without referring to Pakistan. “The two leaders recounted the June meeting in Japan’s Osaka where they participated in the G20 summit.

“He [the Prime Minister] highlighted the importance of creating an environment free from terror and violence and eschewing cross-border terrorism without exception,” the MEA said, summing up Mr. Modi’s message during the 30-minute conversation.

The conversation came days before the G7 summit in Biarritz, France, where both Mr. Trump and Mr. Modi are scheduled to be present.

Officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, indicated that Mr. Modi has several bilateral meetings lined up, without confirming if a Trump-Modi meeting is on the agenda.

In July, Mr. Trump had claimed — during Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s visit to the U.S. — that Mr. Modi had urged him to mediate in the India-Pakistan crisis that flared up after the February 14 Pulwama attack. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had subsequently stated that no such request was made by Mr. Modi to the American leader.

In Monday’s telephone conversation, both leaders also discussed the Afghan scenario with the Prime Minister expressing India’s “long-standing and unwavering commitment to work for a united, secure, democratic and truly independent Afghanistan”.

Cute, talking to Trump about 'extreme rhetoric'.

Gave me a chuckle as well

 

[Heisenberg111]

lol, shows how how IK's tweets got under Modi's skin.

 

[Asim_khan]

That's why Imran Khan is persisting with this line of tweets just outside off stump, how long can the chai wala resist going for one.

He is waiting for tea break

So far he isn't even bringing up Imran's name. Silence is his weapon and he was criticized before for being silent. Look at Congress, they were frustrated with his no responses.

 

[rhony]

Also Imran lost the plot by calling him Hitler. I guess that was for foreign media consumption. But that was already used for Trump, Putin, Netenyahu so there isn't much traction. Half the Pakistanis don't even know Hitler so it didn't help domestically as well. He should have used some villainous characters name from Quran instead. Like Shaitaan or something.

Modi as a Hindutva follower follows a very similar ideology to Hitler.

Exactly. IK reminded me of that too.

Aap to dil per he le gae... i didn't even name anyone but looks like Modi fans and indians are getting upset over everything online these days be it news, videos or posts.

Not sure if y'all are fans of Hitler or if you are mighty scared of him but saying it again and again doesn't make it true. How can he be an enemy of Muslims when the torch bearers of Islam, the Saudis honored him with the highest civilian award? He just saved tons of Muslim women who were victims of Triple talaq. Y'all are stuck on Godhra. He sure ain't congress though. You torch a train of hindus, he'll let a bunch of rogue hindus loose. It's tittest for tat. If everybody behaves, he will. There is not one law that has been passed that discriminated the minorites. It's all about equality as long as everybody behaves in a civilized way.

Anyone wstch sacred games, very similar to rss ideology.

They fooking nutjobs.

 

[Pete Rose]

RIP every dc think tank that spent the last decade trying to de-link India and Pakistan and link India-Afghanistan.

Pakistan has come a long way from being asked to stop cross border terrorism to stop using mean words for the Sanghi Teaboy of Gujrat.

 

[anand99]

Imran would change the title of this article to "the fascist RSS loon talks to the white supremacist nutjob". Watch for Twitter rant soon

Trump should understand Modi's feelings about being called "Hitler" given that the mainstream media in the US calls Trump a "fascist" every other day.

Trump is pretty determined to end America's longest war. After the Afghan war is over, he will revert to his 2018 New Year mode for Pakistan.

Politically correct statement from Trump. Would be interesting to hear both the conversations he had with Modi and IK.

Yes especially sad to see given that we all know PM Modi and his party only speak words of love and peace, don’t they?

Trump playing both sides at the same time, again.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

So true, going and whining to the US President about interfering in Kashmir issue, getting embarrassing really. We have a really spineless PM. Only talk talk talk and no shame really.

 

[Salman]

A telephone phone conversation, really??? what a load of ** it's not the 1990's, just about all important conversations by governments and businesses are done over high end video conference systems these days where plans and presentations are shared and discussed, can't believe people actually buy these bureaucratic fairy tales by the media about chummy phone call between leaders.

plus everyone know that all the world relevant leaders have a whatsapp group and Modi has been getting burned on group chat lately.

 

[IMMY69]

Could the first time ever Trump has been politically correct.
However the tweet is a small slap in the face of The Hindu..

Are you sure? I have reliable information that Modi is not part of that group as it is only for relevant leaders

This is will be the new standard. US asked Pak for a favor in Afg despite going against them on the Kashmir issue. That's because there are many ways Americans can return the favor. IMF, World bank are pretty much controlled by US.

Are.you talking about Imran here Ram Shekhar? The embarrassment was when he compared it to world cup victory too

 

[Abdullah719]

What did he compare?

 

[rhony]

What did he compare?

The overall trip to the United States and the return where he urged Trump to mediate and eked out a statement from Trump.

Trump is playing a double game here.

https://www.samaa.tv/news/2019/07/feels-like-ive-won-the-world-cup-says-imran-khan/

He was referring to the reception he got because there was a massive turnout at the airport.

 

[rhony]

True. The reception was because of the perceived "victory" on mediation in Kashmir among other things. Embarrassing in hindsight.

 

[Napa]

Trump is playing a double game here.

Of course he is playing a double game. He is just saying enough to make Pakistanis feel he will support them on Kashmir, without doing anything concrete.

I am pretty sure he feels good about playing this double game given that the Pakistani Army/ISI has taken money from the US for more than a decade while also giving arms to the Haqqani network which kills US soldiers.

Its called "giving you a taste of your own medicine".

 

[Napa]

This is will be the new standard. US asked Pak for a favor in Afg despite going against them on the Kashmir issue. That's because there are many ways Americans can return the favor. IMF, World bank are pretty much controlled by US.

That's pretty much Trump's calculation. The US didn't even bother to support Pakistan in the closed UN session, even though it could have made a pretense of doing so without changing result of "no result" because France (Rafael) and Russia (old ally) could have guaranteed that result anyway.

Unless the US sends new weapon systems to Pakistan, it is quite apparent where its loyalties currently lie.

FATF, IMF loans etc., the Trump knows Pakistan can't really create too much trouble in Afghanistan.

This remind me of school days "Sir yeh larka mujhe chaerta he please isko roken na"

'All issues between India and Pakistan are bilateral,' says Modi in meeting with Trump

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that all issues between India and Pakistan were "bilateral in nature".

He made the remark during a meeting with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France, ANI reported.

"All issues between India & Pakistan are bilateral in nature, that is why we don't bother any other country regarding them," Modi said.

He said India and Pakistan were together before 1947 and that he was "confident that we can discuss our problems and solve them, together".

The Indian premier also said he has told Prime Minister Imran Khan that they should work together for the welfare of their two countries.

Trump, meanwhile, said he spoke to Modi about the situation in occupied Kashmir and that he was told by Modi that he "has it under control" in occupied Kashmir.

"We spoke last night about Kashmir, prime minister really feels he has it under control. They speak with Pakistan and I'm sure that they will be able to do something that will be very good."

Two faced choota, this modi is.

Why doesnt he just tell the world he has no intentions to talk to pakistan.

 

[classic]

Well done to Imran Khan for educating the population about the ideology of RSS through twitter and talks. This needs to continue for the betterment of the world.

Never before people have been so well informed and questions are being asked about the RSS and Bjp.

I hope and pray that Imran Khan will be relentless in his quest for internatioalising the Kashmiri issue.
