Former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satyapal Malik passes away

BY Connect Newsroom, Aug 5, 2025 6:04 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Known for speaking out in favour of Punjab farmers, former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satyapal Malik passed away today at Delhi's Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital after a long illness. He had been suffering from kidney disease for a long time.

Malik belonged to the Kirsani community of Hiswara village in Uttar Pradesh's Baghpat district. He had been speaking out on the farmers' issue for a long time and had even offered to mediate between the farmers and the government.

Malik, who belonged to the Jat community of Uttar Pradesh, became a crisis solution for the BJP when the Modi government revoked Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. He started his political journey with Chaudhary Charan Singh's Bharatiya Kranti Dal.
