Former Union Home Minister P Chidambaram clarified his statements on the 2008 Mumbai attacks. "In no part of the interview...did I say that 'US stopped us from retaliating after the 26/11 attack'. Yet...the media and...Twitterati are merrily attributing words to me," he said. Chidambaram had actually said that the then US State Secretary Condoleezza Rice told him to avoid war.
