Mumbai : Senior Congress leader and former Home Minister P Chidambaram has hit back after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the UPA government did not attack Pakistan after the 26/11 terror attacks in 2008. The Prime Minister attributed the remarks to a senior Congress leader, who even served as a Home Minister, and did not name Chidambaram.
Countering the Prime Minister’s remarks, Chidambaram said in a post on X, “I quote the Hon’ble PM’s words (as reported in ToI): ‘…..has said India was ready to respond after 26/11, but because of the pressure exerted by some country, then Congress government stopped India’s armed forces from attacking Pakistan’. The statement has three parts, and each one of them is wrong, terribly wrong. It is disappointing to read that the Honourable Prime Minister of India imagined the words and attributed them to me,” the former Home Minister said.
That is why terrorists chose Mumbai for a major attack in 2008. But the Congress government in power then sent a message of weakness, a message of surrender to terrorism, he said. Recently, a senior Congress leader, who even served as the former Home Minister, revealed big things in an interview.
He claimed that after the Mumbai attack, our forces were ready to attack Pakistan. The entire country wanted the same. But according to that Congress leader, the then government stopped India’s forces from taking action due to pressure from another country. Congress must tell us who made this decision under foreign pressure, who played with Mumbai’s national sentiment. The country has the right to know.
