P Chidambaram On 'Dimaagi Naxal' Remark: 'I'm Proud To Be A Dimaagi Naxal'

In an exclusive NDTV conversation, former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram explains his controversial "Dimaagi Naxal" post, which received millions of views on X. Chidambaram says he used the term in response to the BJP's earlier descriptions of the opposition as "Urban Naxals", "Khan Market gang" and "tukde-tukde gang". He says the phrase was directed at the political rhetoric used against the opposition and insists he is "proud" to call himself a Dimaagi Naxal. Chidambaram also questions the government's explanation that the term was not aimed at the opposition.
