Replying to a question on Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent remarks that he was leveling allegations after parting ways with us, Malik said that it is wrong to assume that he raised the issue only after demitting his office.
He asserted that the tragedy was exploited for political gains. Malik claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had instructed him to remain silent after he brought to light the security lapses that led to the attack, which resulted in the death of 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel on February 14, 2019. Separately, Malik also added that National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval had advised him to refrain from speaking about it.
To a question about the allegation that the CBI’s recent summons to Malik was linked to his criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government, Home Minister Shah said such a charge is not true as he was called by the probe agency earlier too.
I can say with complete conviction that the BJP has done nothing that needs to be covered up. If someone is leveling allegations after parting ways with us, then it should be evaluated accordingly by the media and people, Shah said while speaking to an event organized by a private TV news channel last week.
