NEW DELHI: The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has nothing to hide concerning a deadly attack on a military convoy in Kashmir in 2019, India’s home minister said. Malik informed Modi that the attack was a failure on the government’s part but was asked to stay silent, he told a local news outlet in an interview. Malik told The Wire that he “realised that all the onus of the attack will be put on Pakistan” to reap electoral benefits. New Delhi accused Islamabad of orchestrating the attack which brought the two nuclear powers to the brink of another war. Kashmir is a Muslim-majority region at the heart of decades of hostility between nuclear-armed Pakistan and India.
