After Congress leader P Chidambaram stated that Pahalgam attack terrorists could be homegrown, Ravi Kiran, brother-in-law of Manjunath who was killed in attack, called the statement "irresponsible." "I don't think Chidambaram should ask such questions. These kinds of statements end up supporting Pakistan," Ravi said. "What proof does the Congress have that the terrorists were homegrown?" he added.
