Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri issued a clarification on Monday amid continued claims that America had helped avert nuclearwar between India and Pakistan. The senior diplomat told a Parliamentary panel that there had been “no nuclear signalling” from Islamabad despite the recent hostilities.

Misri also reiterated that the decision to stop military action was taken at a bilateral level, as some opposition members questioned US President Donald Trump’s repeated assertions. The US President has repeatedly claimed that he had ‘helped’ broker a ceasefire and “avert nuclear war” last week.

Misri reportedly reiterated the government's position that the decision to halt military actions was made at a bilateral level, rejecting US President Donald Trump's repeated claims about his administration's role in de-escalating the conflict. He also informed the panel that the preliminary probe into the Pahalgam terror attack revealed that the attackers communicated with their handlers in Pakistan before and during the assault, according to sources.
