NEW DELHI/NEW YORK, April 4 - India today swiftly rejected any US role in resolving Indo-Pak issues, hours after American Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley suggested that the Trump administration may �find its place� in efforts to de- escalate Indo-Pak tension.

In a veiled snub, the external affairs ministry spokesperson in New Delhi said, the �government�s position for bilateral redressal of all India-Pakistan issues in an environment free of terror and violence hasn�t changed.

�We, of course, expect the international community and organisations to enforce international mechanisms and mandates concerning terrorism emanating from Pakistan, which continues to be the single biggest threat to peace and stability in our region and beyond.�

The spokesperson�s comments came in response to a query on Haley�s remarks at a press conference in New York. � PTI
