He contended that the continued silence from Modi on the issue would “weaken the strength of our diplomacy”.

“Delegation diplomacy is a welcome step. If someone asks about @USATODAY US role in the @ceasefire what should they reply? @realDonaldTrump’s repeated claims are before the world. A strong denial is yet to come from @narendramodi. His silence will weaken the strength of our diplomacy,” Viswom said on X.

Earlier this week, a similar stand was taken by CPI(M) state secretary M V Govindan when he said that the central government was yet to clarify whether Trump’s claims of intervening in the recent India-Pakistan conflict were correct.

Govindan had contended that third party intervention in the matter would be contrary to India’s long-term stand that it will resolve its issues bilaterally. PTI HMP HMP ROH
