External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the conversation in US Congressional hearing is "slightly different" from media reports.
India today rejected media reports suggesting that the US was in touch with it to explore the option of carrying out ''over-the-horizon'' counter-terror strikes in Afghanistan.
While responding to a question on the issue at a press briefing, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that the conversation in the US Congressional hearing on Afghanistan is "slightly different" from the media reports.
"I would not like to respond to media reports on this issue. I would request you to go through the actual conversation in the US Congress's foreign affairs committee hearings which is slightly different from the media reports. I do not have any further information to share on this," he said.
Asked whether the US can use the provisions of the three foundational defence agreements signed between the two sides to seek such an option from India, Mr Bagchi said "no".
