Satya Pal Malik On Corruption

Former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik has been summoned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for questioning on April 28 as a witness in a case of alleged corruption by Reliance General Insurance.

The bribes were offered by people close to PM Modi, he had claimed, adding that one was linked to the BJP's ideological parent RSS and the other to one of India's top industrialists.

Several top elected politicians in the former state of Jammu and Kashmir, including a Chief Minister, could land in prison on account of corruption, which enabled them to buy homes and stakes in hotels across the world, Goa Governor Satya Pal Malik said on Tuesday.

The National Conference on Tuesday strongly condemned Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik's statement, asking terrorists to target the corrupt and said the remarks are unconstitutional and cast a shadow on the credibility, independence and neutrality of the high office of the governor.

In a hugely controversial statement, Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik said at a public meeting that that terrorist should "kill corrupt politicians who have looted the entire wealth" of the state" rather than innocent people and security personnel.

Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik on Thursday alleged that assistance provided by the Centre was never utilised optimally by successive governments in the state, where corruption and nepotism were "at their peak".
