NEW DELHI: Former Union home minister P Chidambaram on Wednesday refuted claims that the United States prevented India from taking military action against Pakistan after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, saying he was misquoted by the media. In a social media post on X, Chidambaram said, "In no part of the interview to Megha Prasad's podcast did I say that 'US stopped us from retaliating after the 26/11 attack." "Yet, channel after channel and the media and the Twitterati are merrily attributing words to me. These are the perils of talking to the media!" he added. This comes a day after the former Union home minister recounted that he was inclined towards retaliatory action against Pakistan after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks but was ultimately persuaded against it.
