BREAKING | Satya Pal Malik, recently in the news for revealing previously unknown information on the Pulwama attack has been called in by the CBI “for questioning” on April 28.
The ‘questioning’ will allegedly be on the Reliance Insurance issue.
The Reliance Insurance issue is the scheme that RSS and BJP leader Ram Madhav was allegedly pushing Malik to pass while he was the governor of Jammu and Kashmir, and which Malik cancelled.
The Satyapal Malik interview with Karan Thapar has had an explosive effect on the political establishment, with the opposition as well as families of soldiers demanding govt accountability.
Malik consistently says that the government is in full possession of the facts, but has a vested interest in keeping them under wraps to avoid scrutiny of its own role in the tragedy.
Along with the failure to provide aircrafts for the transport of the jawans, Malik notes that there was a huge intelligence failure as well, given that the explosives had been in the territory without interruption for nearly two weeks.
It's hot, and getting hotter. Nine states have put out a heat wave alert this week, and India recorded 280 days of heat waves across 16 states in 2022 – the most ever in a decade.
@aathiperinchery Climate scientists found that climate change made the heat waves that swept across large parts of India and Pakistan in May last year a whopping 30 times more likely.
@aathiperinchery Heat Action Plans are documents that list preparatory, adaptive and responsive measures for government departments to tackle the heat and its impacts.
The Delhi Police informed the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) that its control room received 4,000 SOS calls in the wake of Delhi Anti-Hindu riots on February 25.
A report later said that number was closer to 13,000 on Feb 24 and 25 alone.
As per records accessed by NDTV in at least two police stations in violence-hit areas, in most of the cases reviewed, the column for action taken in response to distress calls was blank.
It’s been three years since 53 people were killed and hundreds of homes and shops damaged or destroyed in communal violence in Delhi. The victims were overwhelmingly Muslim.
The Wire spent months doing what the police refused to do.
The chronology established makes the nature of this actual conspiracy very clear.
This was not a riot planned by just one BJP leader who made just one inflammatory speech but had been worked on by many others since the second week of December 2019.
And having created this foundry of hatred in which mainstream political leaders intersect with the so-called fringe and their dedicated media ecosystem, it is continuously being put to use to keep the communal pot boiling.
Online ownership records show that the car used to abduct Junaid and Nasir in belongs to the Haryana Panchayat and Development department. Police told @alishan_jafri that it has been 'auctioned off'.
@alishan_jafri Monu Manesar, a Bajrang Dal leader and a member of the Haryana government’s cow protection task force is one of the accused in the case.
He has over three lakh followers across social media.
