Former home minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram voiced strong criticism towards the government's agreement to a ceasefire following Operation Sindoor's success. Participating in a discussion post-Pahalgam attack, he lauded the military leadership but raised doubts about the long-term effectiveness of the operation.

Chidambaram expressed concern about India's diplomatic strategy, questioning the lack of engagement with neighboring countries like Nepal and Sri Lanka. He underscored the problem of domestic and Pakistan-originated terrorism working in unison and stressed the challenges posed by 'fused fronts' with Pakistan and China.

Furthermore, Chidambaram reproached the government's handling of US relations, particularly after President Trump's claim of halting an India-Pakistan war.
