Congressman Brad Sherman on Tuesday apologised to India’s US envoy for President Donald Trump’s shocking remarks on Kashmir.

An influential Democratic Congressman on Tuesday apologised to India’s US envoy for President Donald Trump’s “embarrassing” remarks on Kashmir, while several others came out in support of New Delhi’s established stand against any third-party role on the issue.

“I just apologised to Indian Ambassador Harsh Shringla for Trump’s amateurish and embarrassing mistake,” Congressman Brad Sherman tweeted hours after Donald Trump’s shocking claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought his mediation to resolve the Kashmir issue with Pakistan.

India had immediately rejected the claims.
