NEW DELHI: Slamming former Union Minister P Chidambaram’s statement that India must change its behaviour towards Pakistan, Defence Minister and BJP leader Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday asked the Congress to clear its stand on the issue.
She questioned if the Congress wants the Government of India “to stop taking action against terrorists”, “compromise” country’s territory and accept that Jammu and Kashmir is a “disputed” territory”.
After his party’s manifesto that was “pummelled for being friendly and kind” towards the terrorists, the statement by Chidambaram has further “worsened” the Congress’ position, Sitharaman said at a press conference at BJP headquarters.
At an event hosted by Observer Research Foundation (ORF) on Sunday, Chidambaram had said that in order to bring a change in Pakistan’s behaviour, India must also change its behaviour towards the neighbouring country. (AGENCIES)
