Congress leader P. Chidambaram on Thursday (July 31, 2025) slammed as a "lie and distortion" Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks alleging delay in carrying out the death sentence for Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

The Congress leader's remarks came in response to Mr. Shah's statement in the Rajya Sabha that the death sentence for Guru could not be carried out for as long as Mr. Chidambaram was the Home Minister.
