India's defence ministry has rejected US President Donald Trump's claim of ending its conflict with Pakistan in May, saying the country had not responded to pressure from anyone.

Rajnath Singh was speaking at the opening of a parliamentary debate on the 22 April attack in Pahalgam, in Indian-administered Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists.

India blamed Pakistan for the attack - which it denied - and launched a series of strikes, named "Operation Sindoor", on its neighbour, leading to four days of intense military action from both sides.

Trump has frequently claimed that the ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed neighbours was brokered by the US - which India has denied.

On Monday, Singh reiterated that it was "completely incorrect and baseless to say that the military action was stopped because of pressure".
