Chidambaram says PM ‘imagining a ghost’ on J-K autonomy issue

NEW DELHI: Retorting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s criticism of his remarks on Jammu and Kashmir’s autonomy, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said today that he was “imagining a ghost and attacking it” and maintained that those criticising him should first read his comments.

Chidambaram said it was obvious that the Prime Minister had not read the whole answer to the question put to him on Jammu and Kashmir at an event in Rajkot yesterday.

“Those who criticise must read the whole answer and tell me which word in the answer was wrong. The PM is imagining a ghost and attacking it,” he told reporters here. (AGENCIES)
