Chidambaram talks of pressure after 26/11; ‘worrying’, says BJP
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|September 30, 2025
Former Union home minister P Chidambaram has revealed that India couldn't retaliate against Pakistan after the 2008 Mumbai terror attack under international pressure and due to the stand of the ministry of external affairs at the time, providing fresh ammunition to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to target his Congress party.
“The whole world was descending upon Delhi to tell us don't start a war. For example, Condoleezza Rice, then (the US’) secretary of state, came two to three days after I took over (as home minister) to meet me and the PM. She said, please don't react,” Chidambaram told ABP news.
“It did cross my mind that we should do some retribution. I did discuss that with the PM and other people who matter. Apparently, the PM had discussed it when the attack was going on, and the conclusion—largely influenced by the MEA and the IFS—was that we should not physically react to the situation,” he added.
