Home Minister P Chidambaram on Friday came under attack in Parliament for reportedly saying that India would have made more progress if it had only Southern and Western parts, with some members demanding his removal for utterances "against national unity".
Members in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha took strong objection to Chidambaram's comments reportedly made during his interaction with US Ambassador Timothy Roemer in 2009, which was cited by the WikiLeaks, first accessed by 'The Hindu' daily.
In the Lok Sabha, Samajwadi Party Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav raised the issue, saying Chidambaram, despite being the Home Minister of the country, had made comments "against the national unity".
The more serious aspect was that Chidambaram had said so to "a foreign Ambassador", Yadav said amid chants by his party members - "where is the Home Minister?"
