BJP criticises Chidambaram's remark on Ishrat case

Bangalore, Sep 12: The Bharatiya Janata Party criticised Home Minister P Chidambaram's remarks on Ishrat Jehan fake encounter saying it was not expected of him on a foreign soil.

Chidambaram, who is on a US trip said that Gujarat Government could not justify the killings using Central intelligence inputs as conclusive proof.

It (such statement) was not expected from a Home Minister of a federal government and 'that too on a foreign soil', said BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu.

He added that how could Chidambaram conclude when the High Court is still inquiring the matter.

"It (Chidambaram's statement) will also dilute our fight against terrorism," he said.
