Chidambaram says he favoured military retaliation post-26/11 but was overruled amid global pressure
Former Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram disclosed his inclination for retaliatory action against Pakistan post-26/11 Mumbai attacks. He was ultimately swayed by diplomatic pressure, particularly from the US, and the MEA's counsel, leading to a decision to employ diplomatic means instead of military action. He reluctantly took charge as Home Minister then.
