New Delhi: In the wake of former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik's shocking revelations on the 2019 Pulwama terror attack, Congress Party on Saturday came down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked him to break his silence as the matter is related to the National Security of the country.
In a recent interview to a news portal, Malik, who had served as Governor of several states, including J&K and Meghalaya, while mentioning about the Pulwama terror attack where 40 CRPF jawans were martyred, alleged that he was asked by the Modi and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval to refrain himself from speaking about the lapses which he had apprised in the aftermath of the attack.
Training guns on the BJP-led government at the Centre, the Congress termed the interview of Malik "explosive" and posed volley of questions to the ruling dispensation.

Attacking the PM, the Congress MP said, "This matter is connected to Modi) ? The PM is directly being questioned. On many important issues, the PM has only one answer.... his silence. On China and Adani issue , he remained silent. Even on 'black laws', he was quite for a year and later he had to take back the farm laws."
Minimum governance, maximum silence is the principle of this government, he alleged.
