"America has stopped us from retaliation ...", Chidambaram's great conflict on Mumbai attack, BJP said too late
The 26/11 terror attack in Mumbai shook India. Lashkar-E-Taiba militants in Pakistan killed 175 people. After this attack, India considered military action against Pakistan, but India did not choose the war path due to international pressure, especially America. This was unveiled by the senior leader of Congress and the then Minister of Home Affairs, P. Chidambaram. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a shocking attack on his statement. ‘World leaders have advised not to fight’ Chidambaram told a news channel that the government of India after 26/11 was seriously considering the military response. But world leaders, including the US Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kondoliza Rice, advised not to wage war with India. Chidambaram said: “The whole world has put Delhi under pressure not to” start warning “.” Following this pressure and advice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indian Foreign Service (IFS), the government has postponed military action. Chidambaram said military action was discussed during the attack with the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He said, “The idea of action came to me.” But Rice met him and the prime minister and asked India to be held. Chidambaram made it clear that the government’s decision came from, but that international pressure and diplomatic advice influenced it. BJP made the BJP funny on this statement. Union Minister Prahlad Joshi shared an excerpt from Chidambaram’s interview on X and said Congress, saying that Operation Sindoor was the result of a direct conversation between India and the military commanders of Pakistan, not a third party like America.
