JAIPUR: All India Congress Committee General Secretary Sachin Pilot on Wednesday urged the Centre to clarify its stance on former US President Donald Trump's mediation remarks on India and Pakistan, and called for a special Parliament session to reaffirm the 1994 resolution asserting India's claim over Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Expressing concern over Trump's comments, Pilot accused him of equating India with Pakistan and internationalising the Kashmir issue, while ignoring the core concern of terrorism.

"The US President has claimed that he secured a ceasefire between India and Pakistan using increased trade as leverage. That statement is deeply surprising," said Pilot addressing reporters.

"India has fought several wars but this is the first time a ceasefire is being declared by a foreign President. A few hours later, our DGMO confirmed the ceasefire—this sequence of events raises serious questions."
