Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram’s recent disclosure regarding India’s response options after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks has sparked a political stir. In an exclusive interview with ABP Live, Chidambaram revealed that while he personally supported a military strike against Pakistan, India ultimately refrained due to international pressure—particularly from the United States—and guidance from senior diplomats.
The revelation has drawn a sharp response from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which criticized the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government for hesitating at a critical moment. BJP leaders argue that while the nation grappled with the aftermath of the horrific attacks, the UPA opted for restraint rather than decisive action.
