Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Tuesday had confirmed that India repeatedly stated the conflict during Operation Sindoor was a bilateral issue, requiring no third-party mediation.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Dar said he was informed of India’s position during his talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in July.

As a son and brother, I can request this much from you. You won’t have to pay anything for the tests and the medicines. There will be no fee.”
