Speaking in the Indian city of Chennai, Chidambaram said he was firmly of the view that war did not solve any problem.
He said there was no other option and India had to keep on talking with Pakistan and avoid war.
The former Indian union minister said, “We can change our friends but cannot change our neighbours. We have to live with Pakistan forever.”
Another senior leader of the Indian National Congress Digvijaya Singh has appreciated Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan for showing a new way of being a good neighbour by returning the Indian air force captive pilot.
Speaking to news men in west-central city of Indore, the Congress leader demanded of the Modi government to present evidence of the Indian air force’s “air strike” on alleged terrorist camps in Balakot, Pakistan.
“I’ve not seen a bigger liar than Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Singh continued.
Singh also congratulated Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan for releasing IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman.
