Process of listing Masood Azhar was started by Congress, says Chidambaram
Congress leader and UPA finance minister P Chidambaram sought to remind people that “After Masood Azhar masterminded the Mumbai terror attack in 2008, the process to name him as a global terrorist was started by a Congress/UPA government in 2009.” In a three-part series of tweets, he blamed the BJP for setting the terrorist free in the first place.
Masood Azhar was released in 1999 by a BJP government after the hijack of the Indian Airlines aircraft.
