Former Finance Minister and prominent Congress figure P Chidambaram criticized External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s stance on the ongoing Katchatheevu island dispute. Chidambaram took to social media to express his disapproval, suggesting that Jaishankar’s opinions can swiftly change, implying inconsistency.
Referencing modern methods of retaliation, he remarked, “Tit for tat is old. Tweet for tweet is the new weapon.” The dispute reignited following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent remarks criticizing Congress for ceding the strategic island to Sri Lanka in the 1970s. Jaishankar, in turn, rebuked the DMK and Congress, suggesting they evade responsibility regarding the island matter.
