2019 Pulwama attack: ‘Why were CRPF personnel denied aircraft,’ Congress asks Modi government
₹20,000 करोड़ किसके हैं – इस सवाल का जवाब देने से प्रधानमंत्री जी इतना डरते क्यों हैं? pic.twitter.com/jeEbCvImlE

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Saturday demanded that the Narendra Modi government (Centre) reveal the outcome of the probe into the 2019 Pulwama incident in which 40 CRPF jawans were killed and asked why the paramilitary personnel were ”denied” aircraft and made to commute by road despite terror attack threat.
पूर्व राज्यपाल सत्यपाल मलिक जी ने एक इंटरव्यू में बड़े सनसनीखेज खुलासे किए हैं।
और अब इस इंटरव्यू की बातों को दबाने की पूरी कोशिश की जा रही है लेकिन सच्चाई दबेगी नहीं।
ये बहुत ही गंभीर और महत्वपूर्ण सवाल है, जो राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा से जुड़े हैं।

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh accused the BJP-led Union government of ”minimum governance and maximum silence” and asked for its response to the allegations made by Satypal Malik who was the governor of Jammu and Kashmir at the time of the Pulwama terror attack.
”It is the government’s responsibility to answer,” he said, adding that the Congress will continue to ask questions that concern national security.
सत्यपाल मलिक गोवा में भ्रष्टाचार का मुद्दा PM मोदी के सामने उठाते हैं तो उन्हें वहां से आनन-फानन में हटा दिया जाता है।
जब वो पुलवामा हमले पर PM मोदी से कहते हैं- हमारी गलती से हुआ तो PM उन्हें 'चुप रहने' की हिदायत देते हैं।
ये देश का दुर्भाग्य है।

There has been no reaction from the government since Malik’s interview to a news portal was released, while the BJP has said that there were serious questions about his credibility and cited various statements made by him in recent years.
Tagging the interview, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tweeted in Hindi: ”To whom does Rs 20,000 crore belong – why is the prime minister so afraid of answering this question?”.
आप अपने लिए 8,000 करोड़ के दो-दो हवाई जहाज खरीदते हैं।
आप 20 हजार करोड़ की इमारत बनाते हैं लेकिन हमारे जवानों को 5 हवाई जहाज नहीं दे सके।
CRPF का काफिला जोखिम झेलता हुआ जम्मू से श्रीनगर जा रहा था, ये सरकार की नाकामी थी।
इस पर जवाब देना होगा।

In another tweet on Friday night, Gandhi repeated the reported statement of Satyapal Malik, saying, ”The prime minister does not hate corruption very much.” Ramesh also said on Twitter, ”The Home Minister should stop trying to play Narada Muni and address the very serious charges levelled against his Saheb by his own party colleague, Satyapal Malik.” In another tweet, he said the probe into the Pulwama incident assumes fresh significance in the light of former Malik’s ”revelations”.
जब कभी भी गंभीर मसला उठता है तो PM चुप्पी साध लेते हैं।
चीन पर चुप्पी, अडानी पर चुप्पी.. तीन काले कानूनों पर भी 1 साल तक चुप रहे।
अब चुप्पी तोड़ने का वक्त है।
इस सरकार का सिद्धांत है- "मिनिमम गवर्नेंस-मैक्सिमम चुप्पी"

”Former governor Satyapal Malik has made sensational revelations in an interview. And now every effort is being made to suppress the issues raised in the interview but the truth will not be suppressed. These are very serious and important questions that are related to national security,” Ramesh said.
हमारे सवाल-
𝟏. मोदी सरकार ने CRPF जवानों को एयरक्राफ्ट क्यों नहीं दिए?
𝟐. खुफिया इनपुट और जैश की धमकी को अनदेखा क्यों किया?
𝟑. आतंकियों को भारी मात्रा में RDX कैसे मिला? पुलवामा हमले की जांच कहां तक पहुंची?
𝟒. NSA अजीत डोभाल और तत्कालीन गृहमंत्री राजनाथ सिंह की क्या… pic.twitter.com/BkJqqaEPIv— Congress (@INCIndia) April 15, 2023
”Asking questions is our duty, we will not stop, no matter how long the PM remains mute and whatever threats come our way,” he also said.
Addressing a joint press conference along with party leaders Pawan Khera and Supriya Shrinate, Ramesh alleged that the government has created buildings as symbols of democracy but democracy is missing.
The #Congress party held a #PressConference (PC) today at party's headquarters in #NewDelhi on former #JammuandKashmir Governor #SatyaPalMalik, who claimed that he spoke with Prime Minister #NarendraModi after #February14, 2019, #PulwamaAttack, in which 40 #CRPF personnel were… pic.twitter.com/nigqHxknQk

Shrinate asked, ”Why were the CRPF personnel denied an aircraft? Why were they not airlifted?” ”Why were the Jaish threats ignored? Why were 11 intelligence inputs, between 2 January 2019 and 13 February 2019 that had warned of a terror attack ignored,” she said and asked how could militants procure 300 kgs of RDX.
”After over four years, where has the inquiry into the Pulwama terror attack reached? Where, when, how and who will fix the accountability for NSA Shri Ajit Doval and then Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh,” she asked.
आज सत्यपाल मलिक जी, एक PSO के साथ किराये के मकान में रह रहे हैं।
लेकिन आपने समाज में जहर घोलने वाले टीवी एंकरों, चाटुकार फिल्म निर्देशकों-अभिनेताओं को X,Y, Z ग्रेड की सुरक्षा दे रखी है।
ऐसे में सवाल है कि आपने मलिक जी को खतरे के मुंह में क्यों छोड़ रखा है?

Khera also said the interview had raised several questions including why did prime minister ask Malik to ”remain silent”.
Meanwhile, BJP’s IT cell head Amit Malviya played videos of Malik’s remarks in 2018 where he had lauded Narendra Modi as ”best for Jammu and Kashmir”, but has now said thet athe prime minister is ”ill-informed about J-K”.
सत्यपाल मलिक जी ने जो कहा उसने पूरे देश को सकते में डाल दिया है।
सत्यपाल मलिक जी कोई साधारण व्यक्ति नहीं हैं, जब पुलवामा हमला हुआ तब वो जम्मू-कश्मीर के राज्यपाल थे।
उन्होंने PM से कहा कि जवानों की शहादत हमारी नाकामी से हुई।
तो PM ने कहा- 'तुम चुप रहो।'

”The best thing about speaking the truth is that you don’t have to remember what you spoke last time… Satyapal Malik, the disgraced governor of J-K, tying himself in knots here…,” he said citing the videos of 2018 and 2023.
Satyapal Malik, former Governor of J&K, admits to lying and making up baseless stories on what Home Minister Amit Shah had said about Prime Minister Modi… No one took him seriously even when he made these allegations back then.

He also played another video on his remarks about Rahul Gandhi and said, ”Before Congress minions get all excited about Satyapal Malik, their newfound knight in shining armour, here is what he had to say about Rahul Gandhi. So, sit down…” Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said the BJP-led central government must respond to claims made by Malik on the Pulwama terror attack.

”Allegations have been levelled against the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Centre. The matter is linked to the security of the nation and the martyrdom of jawans.
”If the then governor has made such statements and accusations, then the Centre must reply to it,” Baghel told reporters while replying to queries.
