Controversy Surrounding Pulwama Attack and Political Point Scoring

India's Home Minister Amit Shah has denied allegations made by former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik that paramilitary personnel were denied air transport and were made to travel by road amid intelligence failures to detect a threat in the 2019 deadly attack on a military convoy in Kashmir. Shah said the government has nothing to hide and the credibility of Malik's comments needed to be questioned. A suicide bomber rammed a car into a bus carrying Indian paramilitary police in Kashmir on February 14, 2019, killing 40 of them in the deadliest attack in decades on security forces in the disputed region.
