Why Was Satya Pal Malik Mum When He Was Governor, Amit Shah On His Allegations

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has urged the credibility be checked of claims made by former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik in a recent interview. Malik had made critical remarks about the BJP-led Centre, especially regarding its handling of Jammu and Kashmir, where he served as the last governor before the erstwhile state was bifurcated into Union territories. “The BJP hasn’t done anything that needs to be hidden. The issue should not be discussed in a public forum. If he had information about irregularities, he should have spoken during his tenure. Why is he making such claims now? This calls for a credibility check,” Union Home Minister Amit Shah said while speaking at the India Today Karnataka Roundtable 2023
