New Delhi, June 18 -- Prime minister Narendra Modi clarified to US President Donald Trump on Wednesday there was no discussion on any mediation by the US during Operation Sindoor and that India called off hostilities on a specific request by Islamabad, according to foreign secretary Vikram Misri.

Modi's detailed clarification came during a telephone conversation with Trump on Wednesday. Operation Sindoor is the code-name for India's counter-terror response to the Pahalgam terror attack in April.

"Prime Minister Modi firmly stated that India does not and will never accept mediation. There is complete political consensus in India on this matter," said Misri on Wednesday.
