Senior Congress Leader P Chidambaram’s remarks questioning the origin of the terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack sparked a fierce political row ahead of the debate in Parliament on Operation Sindoor.
According to PTI, The former home minister, in an interview with a media platform, said the government has not made public any evidence that the attackers were from Pakistan and suggested that they could be ‘homegrown’.
His comments provoked a sharp response from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
Chidambaram also accused the government of concealing the losses suffered during Operation Sindoor and questioned its reluctance to share investigation details.
“Losses are inevitable in war. Why hide them?” he asked, pointing out that even during World War II, Winston Churchill made frequent public disclosures.
The BJP reacted swiftly, accusing Congress of giving Pakistan a ‘clean chit.’
