Operation Sindoor Sparks Clash: Amit Shah Criticizes P Chidambaram's Remarks

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday challenged former Home Minister P Chidambaram's skepticism regarding the success of Operation Sindoor. Engaging in a heated debate in the Rajya Sabha, Shah referenced Chidambaram's past remarks questioning the decisiveness of the operation.

Amit Shah invoked the Indo-Pak wars of 1965 and 1971, asking Chidambaram to clarify their outcomes, given the persistence of terrorism in subsequent decades. The Home Minister accused previous Congress governments of ineffective responses to terror threats, highlighting the current government's decisive airstrikes and surgical strikes as contrasting approaches.

Chidambaram, speaking earlier, expressed uncertainty over the operation's decisiveness, citing a lack of parliamentary discussion. He also faced criticism on social media, which he attributed to selectively edited interviews. Claiming misinformation was spread, he protested the characterization of his views by online trolls.
