Introduction
As the Monsoon Session of Parliament heats up, one topic dominating discussions is Operation Sindoor—a covert mission that remains shrouded in mystery. Adding fuel to the debate, former Union Minister and senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram has broken his silence in an exclusive interview, addressing critical questions on:
The Pahalgam tragedy and its haunting parallels to 26/11
The US President Donald Trump’s surprising role in the India-Pakistan ceasefire
The current state of Kashmir and intelligence failures
What makes his revelations even more striking? A sharp comparison between how the UPA government handled intelligence lapses versus the current administration.
Pahalgam Tragedy: An Intelligence Failure Echoing 26/11?
The Pahalgam tragedy, where security forces suffered heavy casualties, has raised disturbing questions about intelligence gaps. Chidambaram didn’t mince words:
"Just like the 2008 Mumbai attacks, Pahalgam was an intelligence failure. But there’s one key difference—the UPA government owned up and apologised to the nation. Today, accountability is missing."
This bold statement forces us to ask: Why do intelligence lapses keep recurring? And more importantly—why is no one taking responsibility?
Trump’s Role in India-Pakistan Ceasefire: A Behind-the-Scenes Deal?
One of the most intriguing parts of Chidambaram’s interview was his take on Donald Trump’s involvement in the 2021 India-Pakistan ceasefire. While details remain classified, he hinted at backchannel diplomacy, raising questions:
Did external pressure play a role in the truce?
Was this a strategic move or a forced compromise?
What does this mean for future India-Pakistan relations?
Given Trump’s unpredictable diplomacy, this revelation adds a new layer to the geopolitics of Kashmir.
Kashmir Today: Silence or Strategy?
Chidambaram also weighed in on the current situation in Kashmir, criticising the government’s approach:
"You can’t suppress voices indefinitely and call it normalcy. True peace comes from dialogue, not just military presence."
With rising militancy and political alienation, his words strike a chord. Is the government’s hardline stance working, or is it storing up bigger problems for the future?
Conclusion: Accountability vs. Avoidance
The most damning part of Chidambaram’s critique? The lack of accountability.
Then (UPA): Public apology after 26/11
Now (NDA): Silence after Pahalgam
In an era where transparency is demanded more than ever, this double standard raises serious concerns.

Final Thoughts
Chidambaram’s interview doesn’t just expose past failures—it forces us to question today’s leadership. With Operation Sindoor under scrutiny, Kashmir’s future uncertain, and foreign influence in diplomacy growing, one thing is clear: India deserves answers.
