Has ‘muscular nationalism’ resolved any conflict in the world: Chidambaram

NEW DELHI: Questioning the NDA government’s actions on Kashmir, senior Congress leader and former home minister P Chidambaram on Thursday wondered whether ‘muscular nationalism’ had resolved any conflict anywhere in the world.
In a series of tweets, Mr Chidambaram pointed out that IAS topper Shah Faesal has called the government’s actions on J&K as “the biggest betrayal”.
“Shah Faesal came first in the Civil Services Examination and joined the IAS. He has called the government’s actions on J&K as “the biggest betrayal”.
If Shah Faesal thinks so, imagine what millions of ordinary people of J&K think, he tweeted.
“Has ‘muscular nationalism’ resolved any conflict anywhere in the world?,”Chidambaram asked.
The Congress has strongly opposed the NDA government’s actions to repeal Article 370 pertaining to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcation of the state in two Union territories, terming it as a ‘murder of Democracy ‘.
