Home Minister Amit Shah questions former J&K Governor’s allegations against the Centre and PM Modi. CBI summons not related to claims.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has responded to allegations made by former governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Satya Pal Malik, against the Indian government and Prime Minister Modi. Speaking on the issue, Shah stated that: “Why does the conscience get alive only when someone is not in power?” 

Furthermore, Shah responded to allegations that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had summoned Malik due to his claims against the government. Shah clarified that Malik had been summoned by the CBI earlier too.

Meanwhile, Malik has accused the Indian government of a “lackadaisical approach” towards the Pulwama tragedy, whereby an attack on Indian security forces killed 40 people in February 2019. Malik claims that the Army was denied air movement of troops, which could have prevented the tragedy, but was hindered by the Central government. 

This is not the first time that Malik has spoken out against the Modi government. In 2019, Malik had criticized the government’s decision to strip the state of Jammu and Kashmir of its special status, calling it a “disastrous move.”

In response, the Indian government has rejected Malik’s allegations, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stating that the troops were airlifted immediately after the attack in Pulwama, and that the government has taken necessary steps to strengthen the country’s defence and security.

The controversy surrounding Malik’s allegations highlights ongoing tensions in the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian government’s decision to revoke the region’s special status last year was met with protests and a security lockdown, and the territory has since been placed under direct Indian control.

The situation in Jammu and Kashmir has also been marked by continuing violence, with militant groups and security forces clashing regularly. India has accused Pakistan of providing support to militant groups, a charge that Pakistan denies.

The tensions have led to both countries increasing their military presence in the region, with India claiming that Pakistan is violating a ceasefire agreement by firing across the border. The situation has prompted international concern, with the United Nations repeatedly calling for dialogue and a peaceful resolution to the Kashmir conflict.

Overall, the allegations made by Satya Pal Malik against the Indian government highlight ongoing tensions in Jammu and Kashmir, and the deep divisions and distrust that exist between India and Pakistan over the disputed region. It remains to be seen whether these tensions will be resolved peacefully or whether they will continue to escalate into violence and conflict.
