NEW DELHI: On Congress leader P Chidambaram saying "No proof Pahalgam terrorists came from Pakistan," BJP MP Nishikant Dubey alleged that the Congress has become a traitor organisation.

Speaking to reporters, the BJP MP said, "The Congress has become a traitor organisation. What is the existence of the Congress that participated in the freedom struggle? Rahul Gandhi signs MoU with China's Communist Party. There are huge corruption charges."

"I was currently reading the entire defence deal...You must understand that there was not enough ammunition for the army for three days...for example, if any aircraft had to be purchased for the training of the Air Force, then Congress did not make a decision on it for 25 years because the commission and the deal could not be finalised...If you make statements about anything from Rahul Gandhi to Chidambaram, then I feel like you are slapping at your own face," he adds.

BJP MP emphasising the leadership of PM Modi adds, "They had decided to sell the nation away, but PM Modi came in between. They are not able to digest this strong leadership..."

Ahead of the Parliament debate on Operation Sindoor, Congress leader and former Union Minister P Chidambaram has raked up controversy by alleging that the ruling BJP-led Central government is reluctant to share key details on India's military response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalagam.

In a July 27 interview with the Quint news outlet, Chidambaram raised questions on whether the Government had taken any follow-up steps to prevent another Pahalgam.

"Where are the terrorist attackers? Why have you not apprehended them? Why have you not even identified them? Suddenly, a news item emerges that we have arrested two or three people who gave them shelter. Now what happened to that?" Chidambaram asked.

Further, the Congress leader who served as the Home Minister in the UPA tenure said, the Government was "unwilling to disclose what the NIA has done all these weeks. Have they identified the terrorists, where they came from? I mean, for all we know, they could be homegrown terrorists. Why do you assume that they came from Pakistan? There's no evidence of that. They are also hiding the losses."

BJP has hit back at the Congress leader's remarks with party spokesperson Amit Malviya alleging that the Congress "always bend over backwards to protect the enemy."

"Why is it that every time our forces confront Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, Congress leaders sound more like Islamabad's defence lawyers than India's opposition? When it comes to national security, there should be no ambiguity. But with the Congress, there never is they always bend over backwards to protect the enemy," Malviya said in a post on X.

Chidambaram also criticised the Prime Minister for not making a comprehensive statement on Operation Sindoor.

"We know it was an intelligence failure. But so was the Mumbai terror attack in 2008 an intelligence failure. When I took over as home minister I visited Mumbai and I called the entire press. The first sentence I said was I apologize for the intelligence failure. It was an intelligence failure, of seven or eight Pakistan-based terrorists coming by boat to Mumbai, the commercial capital of India and the financial capital of India and walking up to hotel Taj was a clear intelligence failure," Chidambaram said.

Echoing similar remarks on Monday, Congress MP Imran Masood also demanded answers from the Centre on the whereabouts of the Pahalgam terrorists, saying that the people have a "right to know" where the terrorists went afterwards and questioning the security at the border.
