All Governors are Govt Stooges: Sanjay Nirupam wdes into row in attempt to set J&K guv straight

Sanjay Nirupam’s attempt to counter Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik over remarks about Rajiv Gandhi may end up inviting trouble for the Maharashtra Congress leader.

Accusing Malik of playing politics to “save his seat”, Nirupam said all governors in India are “stooges” of the government. Malik had said on Thursday that former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi was initially not corrupt but got involved in the Bofors corruption case “under the influence of some people”. He was reacting to rebel BJP leader Ajay Agarawal releasing a 76-second audio clip in which Malik told the Supreme Court lawyer that Gandhi was not corrupt.
