Views on Pulwama attack and Narendra Modi
[edit]On 14 April 2023, in an interview toKaran Thapar,Malik gave his views onPulwama attackandNarendra Modi.[17]
- Narendra Modi had no dislike for corruption and has taken no action against those alleged to be involved in corruption because they were close to him.
- The former J&K governor had also made serious claims about mistakes that led to the Pulwama attack in 2019, including instructions by Modi and NSAAjit Dovalfor him to stay quiet on the mistakes and that he "realised that all the onus of the attack will be put on Pakistan".[18]
- “CRPF people (had) asked for aircraft to ferry their people because such a large convoy generally doesn’t travel by road,” Malik said, adding the request was made to the Home Ministry but “they refused to give”.
- Malik also said that there was grave intelligence failure in the Pulwama incident because the car carrying 300 kilograms of RDX explosives had come from Pakistan but was travelling around the roads and villages of Jammu and Kashmir for 10-15 days without being detected and without anyone knowing.
