WikiLeaks: India warned of response to Pakistan attack
P Chidambaram said in case of an attack, the people of India would expect the government to respond.
India would have no choice but to respond to another attack on its territory from Pakistan-based militants, the country s home minister told the US in 2009 according to a leaked diplomatic cable.
P Chidambaram expressed frustration at Pakistan s unwillingness to crack down on militant groups during talks with US Under Secretary of State Bill Burns, according to a June 2009 cable from the WikiLeaks.
Discussing the prospect of another attack in India after the Mumbai 2008 assault that left 166 people dead, the home minister noted that the people of India will expect us to respond. We won t have any other choice.
