Modi Silenced Me on Lapses Leading to Pulwama, Is Ignorant on J&K, Has No Problem with Corruption

In a recent interview with a news outlet, former Indian minister, P. Chidambaram, made several explosive claims about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. Chidambaram alleged that Modi silenced him when he tried to discuss lapses in intelligence leading up to the Pulwama terrorist attack in 2019, which killed 40 Indian soldiers.

Chidambaram also accused Modi of lacking knowledge on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir and being indifferent towards corruption. He claimed that Modi's government has failed to address issues of corruption and that there is a lack of accountability in the current administration.

The former minister's remarks come at a time when the Modi government is facing criticism from opposition parties over its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing farmers' protests.

The Pulwama attack was a major security breach and had led to tensions between India and Pakistan. The Indian government had blamed Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed for the attack.

Chidambaram's claims have been dismissed by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with party leaders calling them baseless and politically motivated.

The allegations made by Chidambaram have sparked a fresh debate on the government's handling of national security and corruption issues.
