The former governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Satyapal Malik, is well known for his outspoken and courageous opinions. In response to the Union Home Ministry’s decision to revoke the Z-plus security cover that had been granted to him, he said bluntly that the central government would be held accountable if anything happened to him.
The best security a leader in India can have, according to Malik, is no longer available to him under the Z-plus bracket, which includes elite commando protection.
