Shah Slams Chidambaram Over Pahalgam Attack Accusations

Home Minister Amit Shah accused his predecessor, P Chidambaram, of indirectly supporting Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. Shah claimed Chidambaram's comments cast doubt on India's actions against terrorist camps in Pakistan, alleging a 'clean chit' was given to Pakistan.

During a Lok Sabha session, Shah detailed how three terrorists, believed to be of Pakistani origin, were killed in Kashmir and implicated in the Pahalgam incident. He pointed to evidence, including voter numbers and Pakistani-made chocolates, to support the government's stance.

Chidambaram had questioned the identification of the terrorists as Pakistanis, suggesting they could be homegrown. Shah responded vehemently, arguing that the Congress leader's skepticism undermines India's position and strengthens Pakistan's defense. The controversy has added fuel to the ongoing political tussle over national security concerns.
