New Delhi, May 19 — Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has told a parliamentary committee that the conflict between India and Pakistan remained confined to the conventional military domain, with no indication of nuclear signalling from Islamabad, according to sources familiar with the proceedings.
Briefing the panel on Monday, Misri emphasized that the government’s decision to de-escalate military actions was made solely through bilateral channels, dismissing suggestions of third-party mediation.
His remarks came in response to questions raised by several opposition members over former U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that his administration played a decisive role in diffusing tensions between the South Asian neighbours.
Misri reportedly reaffirmed that no external intervention influenced the outcome, and that diplomatic engagements were handled directly between New Delhi and Islamabad.
The committee meeting, which included members from various political parties, was convened to discuss recent developments in India’s foreign policy and regional security dynamics.
