This week my focus is on the former J and K governor Satyapal Malik who has been making the headlines for his criticism of the Modi government’s handling of the Pulwama terror attack in which 40 CRPF jawans lost their lives in February 2019. Before I respond to Mr Malik’s remarks, a bit of background. I first met Satyapal ji in the 1990s when he was part of VP Singh’s Janata Dal. VP had assembled an interesting mix of people, all fiercely ambitious, all sharply political, and most of them anti Congress. Satyapal ji was one of them: mentored by Charan Singh in the Lok Dal, he was carrying forward Chaudhary saab’s Jat farmer legacy.
