Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday (July 29, 2025) accused former Union Minister and senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram of giving a clean chit to Pakistan as the latter said there was no evidence that the Pahalgam terrorists came from Pakistan.
In an interview with a media platform, Mr. Chidambaram said: “...they are unwilling to disclose what the NIA [National Investigation Agency] has done all these weeks. Have they identified the terrorists?...where they came from? For all we know, they could be homegrown terrorists. Why do you assume that they came from Pakistan? There is no evidence of that.”

The Minister said there was evidence that the three terrorists involved in the Pahalgam terror attack were Pakistanis because Pakistani voter numbers of two out of three terrorists are available and the chocolates found with them were also made in Pakistan.
“The former Home Minister of the country is giving a clean chit to Pakistan in front of the whole world and by doing so, he is also raising the question that why did we attack Pakistan? He asks for proof but today 140 crore people of the country have come to know about their conspiracy to defend Pakistan.”
