Is Jammu and Kashmir’s former governor, Satya Pal Malik, a mindless loose cannon? It could be a relevant question for some, but what assumes more importance right now is his message.
In interviews with journalist Prashant Tandon on Deshbandhu’s YouTube channel and Karan Thapar on the Wire, Malik has made allegations pertaining to grave issues of security, federalism and corruption at the highest level. These have come from a man in authority, a man who has been an insider as a BJP leader since 2005 and a constitutionally appointed governor of four states between 2017 and 2022.
