BJP Questions Chidambaram’s Stance on Pahalgam Terrorists: Is it a ‘Clean Chit’ to Pakistan?

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has strongly criticized former Home Minister P. Chidambaram’s recent comments on the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attacks. The BJP argues that Chidambaram’s statements, made during an interview with The Quint, effectively give Pakistan a “clean chit” for its role in the violence.

Congress Siding with Hostile Narratives?

The BJP claims Chidambaram’s remarks follow a concerning pattern of the Congress party aligning with narratives that downplay Pakistan’s involvement in terrorist activities. They highlight this as a recurring theme, emphasizing the potential dangers of such a stance for national security.

A Deeper Dive into the Controversy

The BJP’s criticism stems from Chidambaram’s use of the term “homegrown” to describe the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam incident. This characterization has sparked controversy, with the BJP interpreting it as an attempt to shift blame away from Pakistan.
