Former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik again attacked the government over the Pulwama attack issue, saying the 2019 Lok Sabha elections were “fought on the bodies of our soldiers”.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik again attacked the government over the Pulwama attack issue, saying the 2019 Lok Sabha elections were "fought on the bodies of our soldiers", and the then Home Minister would have to resign had there been a probe into the incident.
He claimed he had informed Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the attack just after the incident but "he told me to keep quiet".
"Elections [Lok Sabha 2019] were fought on the bodies of our soldiers and no investigation was done. Had an inquiry been done, the then Home Minister [Rajnath Singh] would have to resign. Many officers would have been jailed and there would have been a huge controversy," Mr. Malik said at an event in Bansur of Alwar district.

Mr. Malik has been vocal about the issues related to Jammu and Kashmir where he was the Governor before the State was divided into the two Union Territories of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir.
He said during the event on Sunday that when the Pulwama attack happened on February 14, 2019, the Prime Minister was in a shooting at the Jim Corbett National Park.
"When he came out from there I got a call [from him]. I told him that our soldiers have been killed and they got killed by our mistake. He told me to keep quiet," Mr. Malik said.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
