Senior Congress leader and former finance minister P Chidambaram launched a 9-tweet attack on the Modi government on Sunday, saying its militaristic approach had failed to end infiltration and militancy in Jammu and Kashmir.
Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Chidambaram referred to the December 31 militant attack on a CRPF camp in the states Pulwama district and questioned the scope of mandate given to the Centres special representative, Dineshwar Sharma.
Sharing numbers of civilian, military and terrorist casualties in the Valley since 2014, Chidambaram said the figures were proof that the Modi governments hard, muscular, militaristic approach had failed to reap results.
The Rajya Sabha MP pitched for a political solution in Kashmir and recalled the diligent efforts of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh in finding a solution.
Hitting back at Chidambaram, BJP spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao said his ideas were a recipe for disaster and accused him of acting like a Pakistani poodle.
Thiru Chidambaram, Your ideas on Kashmir are a recipe for disaster. Our forces are doing a fantastic job. Support them. Stop acting as a Pakistani poodle advancing it's anti-India agenda. Seems you are jealous of Thiru MS Aiyer & trying to challenge him as Pak's "Apologist No. 1", Rao tweeted.
In another tweet, Rao tagged Chidambaram, Congress President Rahul Gandhi and senior leader Kapil Sibal and accused the party of showing fake concern for Indian forces.
