| Words taken out of context, had no pressure from Centre: J&K Governor clarifies remarks | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 27: After Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik's comments regarding instructions from centre regarding government formation in the state created a stir, his office has issued a clarification.
In remarks that could embarrass the Centre, Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik said had he "looked to Delhi", he would have had to install a government led by Sajad Lone, a claim which the opposition said vindicated its charge he was under pressure to put in place a "BJP-supported government"."Delhi ki taraf dekhta toh muje Lone ki sarkar banana padhti aur mein ithihas mein ek bayiman aadmi ke tor pe janta...(Had I looked to Delhi, I would have had to install a government led by Lone, and history would have remembered me as a dishonest man ). " said Malik during a pre-convocation academic conclave of ITM University in Gwalior on Saturday.
However, after the comment was reported by multiple news organisation his office has issued a hasty clarification.
They said," There was no pressure or any kind of intervention from the Centre in the entire matter(dissolving of assembly) and some news channels are misinterpreting Governor's statement and putting them out of context to convey that there was pressure from the Centre".
However, the opposition parties were quick to latch onto Governor's comments before the clarification came. Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti took to Twitter to react to the governor's claim. "My compliments to Governor Malik for not looking to Delhi & for not taking their instructions thereby stopping the installation of a government of the BJP & it's proxies formed by horse trading, defections & use of money," Abdullah said.
