Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram, whose comments about the Pahalgam terrorist incident had sparked a political uproar, addressed the topic on Monday with a scathing post on X.

The former Union home minister remarked, “Trolls are of different kinds and use different tools to spread misinformation.” “The worst kind is a troll who mutes some words, suppresses the entire recorded interview, and paints the speaker in black!”

The BJP officials who have been widely disseminating a video clip of Chidambaram criticising the government’s response to the Pahalgam attack in an interview with an online news portal appear to have been the target of the attack.

The Congress politician claimed that there was no proof to back up the government’s assertion that the assailants were from the neighbouring country, which led the BJP to accuse him of backing Pakistan.

However, Chidambaram defended the interview, claiming that he had questioned the government on a number of occasions.

The entire interview may be found on Quit. In the interview, a lot of questions are posed. In a another article, he stated, “The I.N.D.I.A. bloc will bring up these and other issues during the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha debates.”

Chidambaram is heard questioning why the government has yet to capture the Pahalgam attackers in the video that has gone viral on social media.

They don’t want to reveal what the NIA has been doing for weeks. Have they determined the origins of the terrorists? They could be domestic terrorists, for all we know. Why do you think they originated in Pakistan? “There is no proof of that,” he stated.

As the parliament prepares to address Operation Sindoor on Monday, the Congress leader’s comments have handed the BJP a boost. The opposition is trying to corner the administration on a number of issues, such as its purported silence regarding India’s reported military defeats and US President Donald Trump’s assertions that he mediated a ceasefire between Islamabad and New Delhi.
