No message from Rehman Malik on Laden killing: Chidambaram

New Delhi: Home Minister P Chidambaram has called the bluff of Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik who had claimed that he sent a private message to him after Osama bin Laden was killed in a US operation.

"There was no telephone conversation. He may have been misunderstood," Chidambaram said at a press conference in New Delhi.

He was asked about Malik's statement to media that he had sent a "private message" to Chidambaram soon after the US operation in Abbottabad, saying the incident should not be "taken negatively" by India.

Queried whether there was a private message, Chidambaram shot back, "I have received no message."
