Prime Minister Modi’s statement !

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his visit to Mumbai on October 8, had said that a senior Congress leader and even former Home Minister (PK) Chidambaram also had claimed in a recent interview that after the 26/11 attack in Mumbai, our army was ready to attack Pakistan. That is what the country wanted; but the Congress government knelt down before the terrorists. The Congress did not invade due to pressure from other countries.

हाल ही में कांग्रेस के एक बड़े नेता, जो कांग्रेस के शासनकाल में देश के गृहमंत्री रह चुके हैं, ने एक साक्षात्कार में बड़ा खुलासा किया है कि 2008 के मुंबई हमले के बाद हमारी सेनाएं, पाकिस्तान पर हमला करने को तैयार थीं।

Chidambaram’s statement in the interview !

On September 30, Chidambaram had said in an interview that after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, he too had the idea of revenge. But the then Congress government decided not to take military action. There was pressure from all over the world. We were being told not to fight. The then US Secretary of State came to Delhi and said, ‘Please don’t take action.’ Without revealing any official secret, I confess that I did have revengefulness at the time.
