CBI team at ex-JK guv Satya Pal Malik’s Delhi residence

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The CBI will on Friday question former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik in connection with its probe in the alleged insurance “scam” in the Union Territory which came to light after his statement that he was offered bribes to clear related files, officials said.
A CBI team arrived around 11.45 am at the Som Vihar residence of Malik in the RK Puram area of the national capital to seek clarifications from him on his claims, they said.
Malik is not an accused or a suspect in the case so far, they said.

This is the second time in seven months that Malik, who has served as the governor of various states, will be quizzed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
His statement was recorded in October last year after he concluded his gubernatorial responsibilities in Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Goa, and Meghalaya.
After the latest CBI notice to seek clarifications from him, Malik had tweeted, “I have exposed the sins of some people by speaking the truth. Maybe that’s why I have been called. I am the son of a farmer, I will not panic. I stand by the truth.”
The CBI registered two FIRs in connection with the corruption allegations levelled by Malik in the awarding of contracts for a group medical insurance scheme for government employees, and civil work worth Rs 2,200 crore related to the Kiru hydroelectric power project in Jammu and Kashmir.
Malik had claimed he was offered a Rs 300-crore bribe for clearing two files during his tenure as the Jammu and Kashmir governor between August 23, 2018 and October 30, 2019.

This development comes after Malik’s recent remarks in an interview with The Wire where he stated that the government was to blame for the Pulwama massacre.
Satya Pal Malik, the last Governor of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir who oversaw heightened times that include the abrogation of Article 370, stated in an interview that the Prime Minister squelched him by saying “tum abhi chup raho” when he as governor reported that the Centre’s own mistakes were to blame for the Pulwama massacre.
Malik also said that the Prime Minister is ‘ill-informed’ and ‘does not hate corruption very much’ in an interview with journalist Karan Thapar for The Wire news portal that was posted on Friday night.
Malik mentioned the bombing of the CRPF convoy in Pulwama in February 2019 which claimed the lives of 40 jawans and was turned into an election issue by the BJP in the interview.
“CRPF members requested an aircraft to transport their members because such a sizable convoy seldom travels by road. They enquired the home ministry. They refused to give. They only required 5 aircraft, but they weren’t provided with any,” Malik said.
He recalled the Prime Minister calling him on the evening of February 14, 2019, from outside the Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand.

No link between CBI summons and Satyapal Malik’s allegations: Amit Shah

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satyapal Malik has been called by the Central Bureau of Investigation “for third time” as part of the investigation in an alleged insurance scam and noted that there was no relation of the summons and his allegations against BJP-led government.
Amit Shah said the BJP government has not done any such thing which needs to be hidden from people. He said if certain remarks are made for personal, political self-interest, those should be treated likewise.
“According to my information, he has been called a second or third time. An investigation is underway, some new information or proof must have come to light and he has been called for the third time. There is no truth in this that he has been called for speaking against us,” Shah said at Karnataka Roundtable organised by India Today.

Referring to Malik’s allegations against the BJP-led government, Shah said he should be asked “why these things (have) come to mind after leaving us”.
“Why is not the soul awoken when you are in power…the credibility of such remarks should be seen by people, journalists…if all this is true, why was he quiet when he was Governor..these are not issues of public discussion. I want to say to the people of the country that the BJP-led government hasn’t done any such thing which needs to be hidden. If some remarks are made for personal, political self-interest after leaving us, those should be evaluated by the people, media…,” Amit Shah said.
Answering another query about the decision to appoint Satyapal Malik as Jammu and Kashmir Governor, Shah said he had worked in BJP for a long time and was also a former party vice president.
“A selection was made, sometimes this happens in politics…If someone keeps changing attitude, form from time to time, what can we do, people should understand,” he said.
Satyapal Malik on Friday said that he has been called by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for giving clarification regarding the alleged insurance scam in Jammu and Kashmir.

“CBI has asked me to come to their Delhi office to give clarification regarding the alleged insurance scam in J-K on April 27 or 28,” he said when asked on the alleged insurance scam involving Reliance General Insurance.
He had earlier alleged the involvement of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) functionary in the matter.
Responding to Malik’s allegations, Ram Madhav had on April 13 sent him a legal notice demanding a public apology from him within 48 hours.
Speaking about the Karnataka elections, Amit Shah said that the BJP will return to power with an absolute majority.
“This time BJP will return to form government in Karnataka with full majority. I’m confident that we will win 15-20 seats more than the halfway mark.”
Asked about JD(S), he said voting for it “means voting for Congress”.
Answering queries, he said there was no chance of a hung assembly and BJP will get a majority. Polling to elect a new Karnataka assembly will be held on May 10 and results will be declared on May 13.

Piyush Goyal takes a dig at Satya Pal Malik’s recent allegations

[ad_1]
Rajkot: Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday condemned people who spread negativity and try to hinder the progress of the nation, alluding to critical remarks made by former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik about the BJP-led central government.
Goyal asserted that they are positive-thinking people.
“Unfortunately, some people always think negatively and all the time try to stall the country’s progress by misleading people. I completely condemn such people,” he told reporters here.

He was replying to a question about Malik in a media interview making 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 Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has asked Malik to answer certain queries in connection with an alleged insurance scam in Jammu and Kashmir. This is the second time in seven months that Malik, who has served as the governor of various states, will be questioned by the federal agency.
Malik was questioned by the CBI sleuths in October last year after he concluded his gubernatorial responsibilities in Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Goa and finally, Meghalaya.
The CBI move comes barely a week after Malik gave an interview to “The Wire”, in which he 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.
Malik and some Khap leaders held a protest at a police station in New Delhi on Saturday after not being allowed to hold a meeting at a south Delhi park as they lacked requisite permission, according to officials, who rejected reports that he was detained.

Why is PM Modi silent on Satya Pal Malik’s revelations, questions MVA

[ad_1]
Mumbai: The Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) has demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party should come clear on the statements made by former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik on various issues, including the Pulwama attacks, here on Saturday.
Terming Malik’s contentions on corruption, farmers and February 2019 Pulwama strikes as ‘grave’ and directly linked with national security, the Congress state president Nana Patole, Nationalist Congress Party Chief Spokesperson Mahesh Tapase and Shiv Sena (UBT) National Spokesperson Kishore Tiwari have said they must be probed thoroughly.
“Many questions are raised in Malik’s allegations that Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked him to keep silent when the government’s fault was pointed out in the Pulwama attacks that led to the killing of 40 soldiers,” said Patole.

He said doubts are created in public minds if this is true and why the demand to send airplanes for the jawans was rejected, where did the 300 kg RDX used came from and other glaring lapses that pointed a finger at the Modi government.
Tapase said that Malik’s statements are too ‘serious’ to be brushed aside and the PM must clarify as it owes an explanation to the nation and the families of the martyred soldiers.
Tiwari pointed out that Malik’s explosive revelations pointed fingers at the PM, the Home Ministry and Defence Ministry and could have possible ‘national security ramifications’.
“What Malik has exposed may be like the tip of the iceberg. What exactly is underneath that has not yet come to light, what does it portend for the country’s internal and external security, and why it has been kept suppressed for over 4 years,” Tiwari asked, saying this needs an independent investigation.
Referring to Malik’s allegations that RSS leader Ram Madhav had offered him a bribe of Rs 300 crore, the Congress leader said this is coming from a former governor appointed by Modi and BJP who claim that they will not spare any corrupt person. “But now, they are themselves completely silent on this.”

“All these statements made openly by a senior BJP leader deepen the suspicions on the government and so it is up to PM Modi himself to disclose the true facts in this matter,” urged Patole.
Tiwari warned that if the BJP attempts to bury Malik’s allegations under the carpet, then it will be deemed as not only true but tantamount to a deliberate fraud played on the people, the farmers and the soldiers of the country who lay their lives for the nation.

Satya Pal Malik’s Security Cover Downgraded, Omar Abdullah Reacts

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik criticised the Union government for downgrading his security cover.
In an interview with India Today, Malik said his security cover has been downgraded just because he spoke on the farmers issue and the Centre’s Agniveer scheme.
Satya Pal Malik said that instead of Z+ security cover, a personal security officer (PSO) would now be deployed for his security.
“I would like to say that I am not joining any political party. I am not a political person. But if something happens to me, please come to Delhi,” Malik told India Today.
Maintaining that the security cover of NN Vohra, who served as JK Governor from 2008 to 2018, was still intact, Malik said he has written to the home ministry about the issue but no response has been received so far as to why his security cover was downgraded and what was the reason behind the move.
India Today reported that while the protocol is to provide lifetime security cover to presidents and prime ministers, security cover is provided to governors and lieutenant governors based on intelligence reports from security agencies.
Satya Pal Malik was the Jammu and Kashmir Governor in 2019 when the Article 370 of the Constitution was read down and the state was split into two union territories
Reacting to Malik’s claims, NC Vice president, Omar Abdullah said, “What goes around comes around, jaisa karoge vaisa bharoge. He messed with a lot of peoples’ security, including mine and of my senior colleagues.” Omar wrote on his Twitter.

CBI court in Jammu ‘closes’ Yasin Malik’s right to cross-examine witnesses

[ad_1]
Jammu: A special CBI court on Monday closed banned JKLF chief Yasin Malik’s right to cross-examine a prime witness after he refused to do so through video conferencing.
Currently serving a life sentence in Delhi’s Tihar Jail for terror funding, Malik had demanded that he should be allowed to cross-examine witnesses physically in the Jammu court.
CBI counsel Monika Kohli said that when the judge asked Malik on Monday whether he would like to examine V.K. Sharma, a prime witness in the case, he refused and reiterated that he would like to physically question Sharma in court.
“Following his refusal to cross-examine Sharma through virtual mode, the court closed his right to cross-examine Sharma,” Kohli said.
It must be mentioned here that the prime witness Sharma had identified Malik before the examiner-in-chief of the court as well as the CBI as one of the militants involved in the January 25, 1990 killing of four IAF personnel on the outskirts of Srinagar.
Kohli informed the court that the Union Home Ministry had passed an order barring Malik from moving out of Tihar jail for one year from December 22, 2022 because of pending NIA cases against him.
Malik has been charge-sheeted in the case along with six others. The charges were framed against the accused in 2020, 20 years after CBI filed the charge-sheet before a designated TADA court in Jammu.
While four IAF personnel were killed on the spot, nearly 40 others were injured in that firing incident.
