Ex J&K Governor Satypal Malik admitted to ICU, says he plans to ‘reveal truth' in lengthy X post
Ailing former Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) governor Satyapal Malik has shared on social media updates about his health and also attacked the Modi government for not investigating the Pulwama terrpr attack till date.
Malik alleged that the government is trying to trap him in a false chargesheet by threatening him with the CBI.
He also said that during his tenure as J&K governor, he was offered bribes of ₹ 150 crore, which he refused and continued to work honestly like his political guru, late farmer leader Chaudhary Charan Singh.
In a post on social media platform X, Satyapal Malik said: 'Hello friends. I have been admitted to the hospital for the last one month and am suffering from kidney problems. I was fine since the day before yesterday morning but today again I had to be shifted to the ICU. My condition is becoming very serious. Whether I live or not, I want to tell the truth to my countrymen. When I was on the post of Governor, I was offered bribes of Rs. 150-150 crores, but I continued to work honestly like my political guru, farmer messiah late Chaudhary Charan Singh ji and he could never shake my integrity.'
Malik was admitted to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in New Delhi on May 11 and is currently on dialysis.
The former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satyapal Malik further said: 'When I was the Governor, the farmers' movement was also going on. I raised the demands of the farmers while holding the post without any political greed.'
Farmers in India protested primarily to demand a legal guarantee for the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for all crops, ensuring stable and fair income amid market fluctuations.
They also sought complete loan forgiveness and fulfillment of government promises made during earlier protests, including doubling their incomes and protection against exploitation by large corporations.
On May 23, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi had visited ailing former J&K governor Satyapal Malik at RML Hospital.
'Today I met former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satyapal Malik ji at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and enquired about his health. I hope he gets well soon. I stand with him in this fight for truth,' Gandhi had posted on X.

Center to develop nine roads leading to Nashik ahead of Kumbh mela
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday said that all roads connecting Nashik will be developed and upgraded in view of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela in Nashik. A total of nine roads will be developed by the central government ahead of the religious meet in 2027 and as per the preliminary estimate, the work is likely to cost a further Rs 4000 crore. A high-level meeting regarding the highway connecting Nashik was held on Sunday in the presence of Union Road Development Minister Nitin Gadkari at Nagpur. Gadkari extended in-principle approval to the construction of necessary roads and facilities required for the upcoming Kumbh Mela to be held in Nashik as a huge crowd of devotees is expected to arrive, leading to a strain on the traffic system. It was decided that a Detailed Project Report (DPR) will be prepared soon and funds will be made available for this. The routes to be developed include, Ghoti – Pahine – Trimbakeshwar – Jawhar Phata; Dwarka Circle – Sinnar IC 21 (Samruddhi Expressway) Nandur Shingote – Kolhar; Nashik to Kasara; Savli Vihir (IC 20 Samruddhi Expressway) Shirdi – Shani Shingnapur Phata (Rahuri Khurd); Nashik to Dhule; Trimbakeshwar – Jawhar – Manor; Shadow Well – Manmad – Malegaon; Ghoti – Sinnar – Vavi – Shirdi; Shani Shingnapur Phata (Rahuri Khurd) – Ahilyanagar (Kharwandi Phata).The meeting approved the Nashik Ring Road. Along with this, it was decided to make the Nashik to Trimbak road six-lane. 'The cost will be calculated post preparation of the DPR. But the central government has assured all possible financial help as well,' said an official from the Maharashtra Public Works Department (PWD). He added, the estimated Rs 4000 crore is for the construction of roads and additional money will be required for the Nashik ring road project. 'Keeping in view the increasing interest of devotees towards Kumbh Mela and the expected crowd, I had requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide assistance at the central government level for its successful planning and enabling infrastructure road development. As a result this meeting was held today,' said Fadnavis. There are eight important routes to Nashik from Mumbai, Gujarat, Palghar, Pune, Ahilyanagar, Sambhajinagar, Dhule. All these routes and the internal roads in Nashik city and the district also connect to the national highway. The meeting considered the development of all those roads. CM Fadnavis said that the expanded road network will provide more safe facilities to the devotees as it will handle the huge traffic expected during the Kumbh Mela.
