    Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Ram Madhav has issued a defamation notice to former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik in response to his remarks during an interview in which he claimed Madhav attempted to influence him over a health insurance scheme deal involving a Rs 300 crore kickback.

    Malik stated in October 2021 that a top RSS functionary offered him a bribe of Rs 300 crore to clear two papers pertaining to ‘Ambani’ when he was governor of J&K. Malik identified the RSS leader as Madhav in an interview with a YouTube channel.

    On Tuesday, Congress convened a news conference during which they emphasised the interview and questioned why the CBI or ED is not knocking on Ram Madhav’s door in response to Satya Pal Malik’s charges.

    “Why isn’t the CBI or the ED knocking on Ram Madhav’s door now that a former governor has exposed him?” Khera wondered.

    According to the Congress leader, the CBI publicly questioned the former governor at its headquarters, but Ram Madhav is yet to be summoned for interrogation.

    “The ED-CBI raids and interrogates opposition leaders on a regular basis, so why not BJP leaders?” “What’s with the double standards?” he wondered.

    “If Malik is telling the truth, why hasn’t the CBI, ED, or other agencies taken action against Madhav? Otherwise, there should be action taken against Malik if his claims are false,” he remarked.

    According to Madhav, they are ‘completely false allegations.’

    “The CBI has already conducted a thorough investigation into the matter. I intend to file defamation charges against those who spread these false allegations very soon,” the RSS leader stated.

    New Delhi: The Congress on Tuesday asked why the CBI or ED is not knocking at the doors of RSS leader Ram Madhav after former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satyapal Malik alleged that he was involved in corruption, a charge strongly rejected by the former BJP general secretary.

    Addressing a press conference here, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said in October 2021, Malik had claimed that a senior RSS functionary had offered him a bribe of Rs 300 crore to clear two files related to “Ambani” when he was the J-K governor. He claimed that in an interview to a YouTube channel on Monday, Malik named the RSS functionary as Madhav.

    Asked about it, Madhav told PTI that these are “totally false allegations”.

    “The CBI has already thoroughly investigated the matter. I will be filing defamation charges against the peddlers of these false allegations very soon,” the RSS leader said.

    Malik was the governor of Jammu and Kashmir between August 2018 and October 2019, and in October 2021 he was the governor of Meghalaya.

    “Why is the CBI or ED not knocking at Ram Madhav’s doors, given that a former governor has exposed him,” Khera asked.

    The Congress leader said the CBI had openly questioned the former governor at its headquarters but why has Ram Madhav has not been called for questioning yet.

    “The ED-CBI raids or interrogates opposition leaders time and again, but why not BJP leaders? Why these double standards?

    Khera also played out the purported interview of Malik.

    “If Malik is speaking the truth then why the CBI, ED or other agencies have not taken action against Madhav, else there should be action against Malik if his claims are untrue,” he said.

    Khera also claimed that Malik has sought Z-plus security as a former governor but he has only been provided a PSO and is living in his own house, whereas former Congres leader Ghulam Nabi Azad has been given a government bungalow and Z-plus security.
