Congress leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi has now entered the fray in the controversy surrounding US President Trump's remarks on Kashmir.

Rahul Gandhi has sought a reply from Prime Minister Modi on Trump's claim that the Indian PM asked for his intervention in the Kashmir issue.

Taking to Twitter, Rahul Gandhi said that PM Modi has "betrayed India's interests".

"President Trump says PM Modi asked him to mediate between India & Pakistan on Kashmir! If true, PM Modi has betrayed India’s interests and the 1972 Shimla Agreement," Rahul Gandhi wrote on Twitter.

President Trump says PM Modi asked him to mediate between India & Pakistan on Kashmir!



If true, PM Modi has betrayed India’s interests & 1972 Shimla Agreement.



A weak Foreign Ministry denial won’t do. PM must tell the nation what transpired in the meeting between him & @POTUS Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) July 23, 2019

Rahul Gandhi also rejected the clarification given by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in the Rajya Sabha, terming the denial "weak".

"A weak Foreign Ministry denial won’t do. PM must tell the nation what transpired in the meeting between him and US president," he added in his tweet.

The Wayanad MP's latest attack on the prime minister came as the Opposition raked up Trump's statement in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, with echoes of "Pradhan mantri jawab do" (PM answer) being heard in the Upper House.

Meanwhile, in the Lok Sabha, the Opposition walked out demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement on US President Donald Trump's remarks on Kashmir mediation as the government asserted that outstanding issues between India and Pakistan will continue to be addressed bilaterally.

Reiterating India's stand, Foreign Minister S Jaishankar issued similar statements in both Houses, assuring that Prime Minister Modi made no request to Trump to mediate on the Kashmir issue with Pakistan.

"I would like to categorically state that no such request has been made by the Prime Minister to the US President," he said.

S Jaishankar said it has been the consistent position of India that all outstanding issues with Pakistan can be discussed only bilaterally.

"Any engagement with Pakistan will require an end to cross border terrorism," he said, adding Shimla and Lahore accords provide the basis for resolution of all issues bilaterally.

US President Trump had on Monday claimed that Prime Minister Modi had asked him to play the role of a mediator on Kashmir.

In a meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, Trump offered to be the "mediator" between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir issue and even said he has received a request to do so from Modi during a recent meeting with him.
