Imran Khan

“Spoke to my two good friends, Prime Minister Modi of India, and Prime Minister Khan of Pakistan, regarding Trade, Strategic Partnerships and, most importantly, for India and Pakistan to work towards reducing tensions in Kashmir. A tough situation, but good conversations!” Trump tweeted.

In a 30-minute long phone call, PM Modi and Donald Trump shared their thoughts over rising tension between India and Pakistan, days after Jammu and Kashmir was made Union Territory with an end of Article 370 of Indian constitution.

The 64-year-old leader, a member of parliament in the Lok Sabha of the Indian Parliament representing the Ahmedabad East constituency, tweeted that Imran Khan's current situation is like a school kid who had prepared whole year for Narendra Modi, but the examiner asked Amit Shah in the examination.

The statement from White House came amid severe tension between India and Pakistan, which got fuelled after PM Narendra Modi's government decided to scrap Article 370 of the Indian constitution, that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The matter got so sensitive that it went to the UNSC for a closed-door meeting on Friday.

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday threatened to go to a war with India following the government's decision to abrogate Article 370 in Jammu and Kahsmir and bifurcate it into two Union Territories.

A day after Pakistan announced suspension of Samjhauta Express that runs between Delhi and Lahore, they have announced suspension of Thar Express, a bi-weekly train between India and Pakistan.

A day after scrapping of Article 370 that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan announced downgrading diplomatic ties with India. Islamabad on Wednesday expelled Indian envoy and said they are suspending bilateral trade with the neighbouring nation.

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has issued a warning to India claiming that the move to strip Kashmir out of its special status could lead to a war and the "ethnic cleansing" of Muslims in the restive Himalayan region.

Intelligence report and satellite images have confirmed that the launch pads and terrorists which were moved out ahead of Imran Khan's US visit have been moved back at the Line of Control.

India on Friday once again underlined that any kind of talks over Kashmir issue will be done only with Pakistan and reminded the US in "clear terms" that it is a bilateral issue.
