P Chidambaram

In a post on X on Wednesday, though Chidambaram did not talk of the Delhi blast that claimed at least I lives, he asked why and under what circumstances are Indian citizens turning into terrorists. “I have maintained before and after the Pahalgam terror attack that there are two kinds of terrorists—foreign-trained infiltrated terrorists and homegrown terrorists. I said so in Parliament during the debate on Operation Sindoor...,” he said in his post.
