Meghalaya Governor Satyabal Malik, who has made controversial remarks about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, has said that Amit Shah’s remarks were “misunderstood”.
Satyapal Malik, who spoke to The Indian Express English daily, said that Amit Shah did not make any misconceptions about the Prime Minister when he spoke to me; He only told me that he should continue to meet the people regarding the agrarian amendment laws and try to change their minds, ”he said.
Amit Shah asked me why I was constantly commenting on something. I said that farmers need to find a solution to the problem. He understood. Amit Shah did not comment on the PM. He told me to keep talking to the people, “said Satyapal Malik in an NDTV interview.
Satyapal Malik was a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Uttar Pradesh before serving as governor of Bihar, the undivided state of Jammu and Kashmir, Goa and Meghalaya.
Even when Satyapal Malik was the Governor, he continued to make anti-government remarks as farmers protested against the three agricultural laws being withdrawn by the Indian government.
The video shows Satyapal Malik describing his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a meeting in Sarki Dadri, Haryana.
Malik then said, “The Prime Minister was very arrogant when he met Modi.”
“When I told him that 500 of our farmers had died, he said, ‘Why did they die for me?’ Asked Moti. To which I argued with him, saying, ‘You are the king.’ Narendra Modi then asked him to talk to Amit Shah about the matter. When I mentioned Modi’s speech to Amit Shah, he said, ‘Narendra Modi is led by the wrong people. Let him say something, ” said Satyapal Malik.
Opposition parties have stated they will not run in the by-elections.
Mallikarjuna Karge, a senior Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly of the Indian Parliament, shared a video of Satyapal speaking on his Twitter page and tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has acted arrogantly on the issue of farmers,” said the Governor of Meghalaya. Satyapal Malik has said. Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the Prime Minister is “outrageous”. Those in constitutional responsibilities speak so disrespectfully of one another. Narendra Modi, is this true? ”He asked.
Satyapal Malik has denied that Amit Shah told him anything like that in this situation. But he did not say anything about his comments on Narendra Modi.
Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s move to repeal agricultural laws, Satyapal Malik said, “When he was the chief minister, Narendra Modi was pro-farmers. Insisted that the minimum resource price be legalized; But he became misguided after becoming prime minister. After learning that the farmers did not support the new laws, Narendra Modi had the mind to withdraw them and apologize. It shows that he has a big heart, ” Satyapal Malik was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.
