PM Modi shared these adorable pictures at a time when the opposition is creating an uproar in the Parliament over US President Donald Trump's Kashmir mediation claim where he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked him whether he (Donald Trump) would like to mediate in Kashmir issue.
Donald Trump had made this claim while speaking to reporters during his meeting with Pakistan PM Imran Khan on Monday.
However, following Trump's claim, the Ministery of External Affairs (MEA) as well as External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar cleared the government's stand saying no such request has been made by PM Modi.
Meanwhile, the opposition is still firm on its demand to seek a clarification from PM Modi on Trump's claim.
