NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah lashed out at the Congress as well as party veteran P Chidambaram on Tuesday, taking umbrage over the latter’s remarks that the Pahalgam attackers could have been ‘homegrown terrorists’ and not from across the border. He said there was ample proof of their country of origin as the Voter IDs of the Pahalgam terrorists were Pakistani.
Speaking on the 'Operation Sindoor' debate in Lok Sabha, Amit Shah assailed the grand old party and Chidambaram over raising doubts, even if small, on whether the terrorists who killed 26 people in Baisaran Valley in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) were Pakistanis.
He expressed surprise as to how the former Home Minister of the country (P Chidambaram) was raising questions over origin and nationality of terrorists.
“Whom do you want to save? What will you gain by shielding Pakistan?, ” asked the furious Home Minister.
Amit Shah told the House that there was ample proof with the government and investigating agencies that the attackers came from Pakistan.
