New Delhi, May 13 -- Day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi snubbed US President Donald Trump over his pitch to work with both India and Pakistan to find a solution to Kashmir, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) again rejected such a mediation saying any issues have to be addressed by the two concerned contries "bilaterally".
