Replying to the interviewer, Malik, said, “Let me tell you the facts the Home ministry refused to give aircraft to the CRPF personnel”.

“I also apprised the PM in the evening that day saying that this would not had happened if we would have provided chopper to CRPF soliders”, he alleged.

“The CRFP posse wanted an aircraft to ferry their soldiers cause such a big convoy can’t go through the road”, he claimed.

“The army asked the concerned department (Home Ministry) he denied them the chopper service”, he alleged.

“The CRPF personnel only asked for 5 aircrafts to carry their soldiers, I would arranged them if they had asked me”, he added.

“This was our fault this would not have happened if we would have provided them the choppers”, he said.

“I even informed PM about this he told me to be quiet”, he remarked.

“I even talked about this with some channels and they told me that we should not talk on this”, he further said.

“Ajit Doval is my former classmate he also told me to remain quiet on this as the whole onus had been put on Pakistan”, he said.

Malik was the governor of erstwhile J&K state during the Pulwama terrorist attack of February 2019.
