The BJP has so-called that Chidambaram changed his ministry’s affidavit to the High court of Gujarat which present smart inputs to say that The girl named Ishrat was a terrorist, and in his second affidavit he said there was no proof of the teen’s terror links and BJP also stated that Mr. Chidambaram modified the entire documents to case his congress party’s stand that the dead girl was innocent and stabin cold blood on the Gujarat Govt’s orders.

Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "The government is not closed to the option of a judicial probe in the entire episode," and also questioned "Mr Chidambaram as Home Minister of India changed an affidavit to say there was no conclusive evidence to prove Ishrat's Lashkar links. Can a home minister behave in such an irresponsible manner?"
