NEW DELHI: Former governor of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Satya Pal Malik has made shocking revelations about the Modi government’s sinister plan in an explosive interview with Karan Thapar for The Wire, narrating as to how Pakistan was blamed for Indian intelligence failure that led to Pulwama attack.
Malik, who was the governor during the Pulwama terrorist attack of February 2019 and the scrapping of Article 370 in August that year, revealed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi silenced him on lapses leading to Pulwama and has no problem with corruption.
Indian occupation's Governor for Kashmir during #Pulwama confirms what I said back then, that Hindutva needed to distract people from homegrown Kashmiri freedom movement, its own incompetence & to boost electoral chances
Escalating with Pakistan was necessary to attain all three https://t.co/BwTgMdLJya pic.twitter.com/5l7knOq329

Malik went on to state that the prime minister is “ill-informed” and “ignorant” about Kashmir and instructed him not to speak about the Union home ministry’s lapses that led to the devastating terrorist attack on soldiers in Pulwama in February 2019.
He disclosed that the attack on the Central Reserve Police Force convoy in Pulwama was a result of “incompetence” and “laparvahi” by the Indian system and specifically the CRPF and the home ministry.
During the interview, Malik gave extensive details of how the CRPF had requested aircraft to transport its jawans, but was refused by the Union home ministry. He also spoke of how sanitization of the route was not done effectively. Malik revealed that all of these lapses were raised by him directly when Modi called him from outside Corbett Park shortly after the Pulwama attack. He said the prime minister instructed him to keep quiet about this and not tell anyone. Separately, Malik said that NSA Ajit Doval also told him to keep quiet and not talk about it.
Malik realized that the intention was to put the blame on Pakistan and derive electoral benefit for the government and the BJP. He also revealed that there was a grave intelligence failure in the Pulwama incident because the car carrying 300 kilograms of RDX explosives was traveling around the roads and villages of Jammu and Kashmir for 10-15 days without being detected and without anyone knowing.
These startling revelations by Satya Pal Malik have shed light on the Modi government’s actions and inactions in relation to the Pulwama terrorist attack. The explosive interview has not only busted Indian propaganda but raised questions about the Indian government’s handling of the incident and its motives behind its actions.
