7 Years Since Pulwama Attack: A Look Back at Satya Pal Malik’s Claim

"When the Pulwama incident (of 2019) happened, I told PM Modi it was our fault. He asked me to keep quiet about it. I thought they would initiate a probe. A while later, NSA Ajit Doval called me and asked me to keep quiet too. He was with me in law school. There has been no probe since. They started taking political benefits from it right from the next day saying, 'When you vote, remember the sacrifices of Pulwama soldiers'," said Satya Pal Malik, former Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, as spoke about the 2019 Pulwama terror attack. Today marks seven years since 40 CRPF personnel were martyred in the terror attack that shook the nation on 14 February 2019. Here's a lookback at Malik's conversation with @heyeshwar in February 2024 in which he levelled allegations against his own party's government. When asked why he did not step down as the Governor following the attack, he said: "The truth is, I had spoken up two hours after the incident. The PM was on a shoot at Jim Corbett National Park. He met me in the evening and asked about what happened. I thought there would be a probe. All this was while I was the Governor. They had asked for 5 aircraft which they had denied. I would ferry stuck students in aircraft. If they hadn't taken the road, the incident would not have happened." "People say whatever they want to. If one is to look at it responsibly, I was the head of a state. I was not there to precipitate a crisis. I could only try to explain things. I did that. I spoke to the PM about that. But I cannot be expected to resign every day over everything. I highlighted it, and I spoke up," he said.
