Ended up fighting with PM Modi, he is very arrogant says Satya Pal Malik
When I told him that 500 of our own (farmers) had died… he said, ‘Did they die for me?’
Stirring yet another controversy, Meghalaya governor Satya Pal Malik claimed that PM Modi had arrogantly dismissed the news of 500 farmers’ deaths in protests when he raised the issue. In a video, which has gone viral on Monday, Malik is heard saying that PM Modi had questioned ‘did they die for me”. Addressing reporters in Haryana’s Charkhi Dadri, Malik is further heard saying that Home Minister Amit Shah termed the PM ‘mad’.
घमंड…क्रूरता…संवेदनहीनता
भाजपा के राज्यपाल के इस बयान में पीएम मोदी के व्यक्तित्व में शामिल इन्हीं 'गुणों' का बखान है।
मगर, ये एक लोकतंत्र के लिए चिंता की बात है। pic.twitter.com/HGxzKfYsme

Addressing a social function at Dadri in Haryana, Malik said, “Main jab kisano ke mamle me Pradhan Mantri ji se milane gaya, to meri panch minute mein ladai ho gayi unse. Woh bahut ghamand mein the.
Jab maine unse kaha, hamare 500 log mar gaye… to usne kaha, mere liye mare hain? (Maine) kaha aapke liye hi to mare the, jo aap raja bane huye ho… Mera jhagda ho gaya.
Unhone kaha aab aap Amit Shah se mil lo. Main Amit Shah se mila… (When I went to meet the Prime Minister to discuss the farmer issue, I ended up fighting with him within five minutes. He was very arrogant.
When I told him that 500 of our own (farmers) had died… he said, ‘Did they die for me?’
I told him yes, since you are the king. I ended up having an argument with him. He told me to meet Amit Shah and I did).”
Shocked at the language Malik used against PM Modi, Congress MP Mallikarjun Kharge condemned the contempt with which constitutional authorities were speaking about each other. Furthermore, he tagged the Prime Minister asking ‘Is it true”. Congress’s official Twitter handle also highlighted ‘vanity’, ‘cruelty’, and ‘insensitivity’ from Malik’s speech, stating that these words describing PM Modi were a matter of concern for democracy.
Meghalaya’s Governor Sri. Satya Pal Malik is on record saying PM was 'arrogant' on the issue of Farmers & HM Amit Shah called the PM as ‘mad’
